Why OBGYN?: OBGYN has the highest of highs and lowest of lows and my patients will be counting on me to show up for them during both extremes, and everything in between. This privilege of being able to form connections rooted in humanity, while walking alongside my patients through both heartbreak and celebration is something I will always cherish about this specialty.

Why CMU?: Even though my interview was through zoom, I immediately felt the sense of connection and support between the faculty, residents, and all team members, which was important to me as I chose a program. Furthermore, I wanted to train at a smaller program that still provided residents with extensive experience in both uncomplicated OB and Gyn patients as well as cases that are “once in a lifetime”. CMU absolutely checks that box, and I am grateful for the opportunity to train here.

Future Career goals: Right now, my plan is to return to Oregon or Montana to work as generalist providing care for individuals in an underserved area.
However, I am always open to seeing where the wind takes me. 

Fun Fact or Hobby: I hold one of the longest Snapchat streaks ever at 3, 585 days. Also, I have a twin sister.

Why OBGYN?: it’s the absolute best specialty!! I love being able to learn and advocate for women’s health. I also enjoy the variety of getting to do clinic, surgery, and deliveries.

Why CMU?: I really enjoyed my time at CMU during medical school. I felt like I was able to get a great education from faculty who genuinely care about their work and their patients.

Future career goals: likely generalist but I have thought of MFM or REI

Fun fact or hobby: I enjoy taking my cat on adventures, spending time with my niece and nephew, horseback riding, going to concerts, and being outdoors!
