    Why Utah Pediatric Infectious Disease? I've been practicing in Utah for 18 years and didn't want to move out of state.

    What is your favorite part about our program? Everyone is very friendly and helpful and values taking care of children but also themselves.

    What is your favorite part about living in Salt Lake City? The mountains, it's a small city but everything is here and did I mention the mountains?

    What cool research/advocacy/education/scholarly work are you participating in? I've been participating in antibiotic stewardship in general pediatrics, but plan on working on COVID-19.

    What is something you didn’t know before coming to Utah that you wish you did? I've lived here all my life except during med school and residency, but the city is set up on a grid, it makes finding things pretty easy.

    What are your plans following fellowship? Stay on as faculty
