I am a native Californian, born and raised in San Diego. I grew up running, biking, and surfing. I attended a small liberal arts college in Claremont, CA, then moved to San Francisco for a year. I went to medical school in the Midwest—I found I prefer the bustle of a busy city. I love county-style Emergency Medicine and am excited to do my residency in NYC!
