    Interests & Hobbies

    I have a deep passion for animals including domestic and wildlife. Rescue, fostering, TNR and public awareness. Brazilian jiu-jitsu and weight lifting have been lifetime favorites, but I also enjoy playing tennis, biking, car racing, volleyball and dancing salsa, country and ballroom stuff. I enjoy cooking and gardening also!

    Why Utah?

    The way the rural track is set up was the biggest reason I loved this program. The first two years we do our training in a resource-rich environment with plenty of opportunities to be prepared to face the different reality of rural psychiatry. Second, I love the way residents helped each other. The program truly stands for "never worry alone." There are ALWAYS people you can call for help! Third, Utah is beautiful and I have some extended family here!
