Why Med-Peds?: I joined Med-Peds so I can care for complicated patients throughout their lives. My dream is to provide care for a child and then support them through adolescents and adulthood so they can grow as a person, manage their chronic illness and succeed in their goals. In addition, the people in Med-Peds are incredible people and I am thankful to be around them.
What do you plan on doing when finished residency (if known)? I'm interested in a dual med-peds fellowship, maybe endocrinology, but I am still exploring my options.
Outside interests: Hiking, figure skating, rock climbing, dining with friends and board games
