    Interests & Hobbies

    Spending time in the mountains (biking, hiking, skiing, rock climbing, etc.), soccer, local food and art scene, board games, watching Utah Jazz or RSL games with friends, traveling.

    Why Utah?

    After spending a few years in the mid-west for medical school, I was ready to come back out west. While doing an away rotation with Utah, I realized how good of a fit the program was for me. It is one of the biggest names for psychiatric care in the community, the faculty cared about me and took time to teach, and the residency program's environment is incredibly supportive. I felt like wherever my interests in psychiatry would take me, I could find the mentors and the resources within the program to succeed. Plus, it is easy to head down to the city or up into the mountains after a day of work!
