Baking, cooking, hiking, singing. I love to travel and explore new places. I really enjoy theater and art as well!

Increasing access to healthcare and improving healthcare disparities. I am interested in outcomes based research and medical education. Within vascular surgery, I enjoy limb salvage and hope to work on improving outcomes for patients.

I waited tables and worked as an EMT before medical school.

I love medical education and teaching. I hope to spread my love of vascular surgery and ignite an interest in the field in those who otherwise would not have had the exposure. In my free time I hope to get better at baking, draw and paint, and go on as many new hikes as I can.

Best: Waiting tables. I loved working in the service industry and like to think that medicine is very similar to serving. Working in teams and problem solving were our day to day, but now I get to employ that with my patients. Worst: Working for my undergraduate university housing department.

I rotated at Maine Medical Center during my 4th year of medical school and fell in love with the people. The department was incredibly supportive and welcoming. I love the community feel of the hospital with the resources of a larger academic center, and the ability to teach medical students rotating through.
