About Me

Title(s): Resident

Hello! I was born in Canada but grew up in rural northeastern Kentucky. I attended Western Kentucky University for undergraduate where I learned Spanish and went to medical school at Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee.

I had a lot of interests in medicine, but ultimately, I chose Family Medicine because I appreciated that anything you learn in life, whether it be through formal education, life experience or hobbies can be applied in this specialty, making learning so much more rewarding.

MetroHealth has a uniquely socioeconomically, ethnically, and linguistically diverse population that really attracted me to it and mixed with the culture of the residents and attendings and the vibe of the city, I felt that this was the right program for me.

In my free time, you'll find me watching tennis, running, vintage shopping and thrifting, biking, running off to visit my family all over the continent, and at the art museum! Life has taught me that planning for it years in advance often isn't helpful, so I'm very open minded to the type of practices I'll be in post residency. But all I know is - I won't be able to just stick to one thing!
