I was born in Columbus, Ohio. I became a "double buckeye" by getting a Bachelor of Science in neuroscience and then later attending medical school at THE Ohio State University. After my transitional year at Soin, I will be moving to Atlanta for diagnostic radiology residency at Emory University. My main goal for intern year is to give my very best to each patient and coworker I encounter every single day. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family (people & pups!), horseback riding, walking in nature, & watching buckeye football.
