July 2023- June 2025
I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was drawn to the University of Utah for Internal Medicine residency for the exceptional clinical training here in addition to easy access to the mountains and other countless attractions out West. During my 3 years of residency, I took advantage of my surroundings in this beautiful state (by hiking, skiing, camping, etc.) while also focusing on my medical training. Through my clinical experiences, I found I was most attracted to Endocrinology - a field that allows me to foster relationships with patients over time while treating complex conditions. Long-term, I hope to practice Endocrinology in an academic setting. I am especially interested in obesity medicine, new diabetes technologies, and reproductive Endocrinology.
I completed my residency training at the University of Utah and am very excited to stay for fellowship in endocrinology because of the excellent mentorship, clinical opportunities, and supportive environment that I have experienced here. I am most interested in insulin resistance, diabetes management, obesity, and weight loss, but I love that the training at the U will prepare me well to practice in any area of endocrinology and allow me to broadly explore the field. In my free time, I look forward to hiking in the nearby foothills and Wasatch front, continuing to expand my vegetable garden, enjoying the summer sun and winter snow, and getting to know my co-fellows.

I take an active interest in the outdoors. I often enjoy hiking and have explored wonderful mountain ranges in both Nepal and the US. On weekends I also take pleasure in finding new cultural experiences such as cultural performances or new cuisine. I also find fun in dancing, basketball, table tennis, and tending my garden. I highly value being a part of my local community through volunteering with organizations that work with the underserved, pediatric, and geriatric populations. Women’s health has also been an important focus for me, and I draw upon my experiences in Nepal to best serve my local community in the US.
I believe in bringing individuals together, and through their collaboration, leveraging the achievement of common goals. I developed this understanding through my involvement in school sports, in managing and organizing school events and charities; and participation in social work, including organizing relief for victims of earthquake, heat stroke or any other natural disasters and counseling their families. I am a socialist and a seasoned traveler. I enjoy hiking and camping, going to movies, designing clothes, trying out all the trendy makeup and style, and interior decoration. I enjoy spending time with my toddlers, playing with them, doing arts and crafts, taking them to theme parks and food places. The joy on their faces motivate me to do bigger things in life, everyday.
