Why MaineHealth Maine Medical Center?
I wanted a residency with high acuity cases, a combined med-peds clinic and a collaborative environment, and MMC had it all! I also wanted to live somewhere that when I'm not in the hospital, I have easy access to nature so I can easily hike, bike, camp, or participate in any of my other outdoor hobbies!
If I wasn't a doctor, I would be a...
ocean lifeguard or scuba instructor!
Medical interests
Heme/onc and survivorship, substance use disorder, LGBTQ care
What did you do before medical school?
I worked as a clinical research coordinator in food allergy and GI research!
