I grew up in the small rural town of Saranac Lake, NY, deep in the Adirondack mountains. The first part of my life was spent skiing through the Northeast, attending college at the University of New Hampshire where I obtained a degree in Mathematics and skied for the university. Afterwards, I moved to Boulder, CO and pursued a master's in Bioengineering where I realized my love of medicine, but recognized I was missing the people I might care for. Thus, I changed my course and pursued a career in medicine. I went to medical school at the University of Vermont and was beyond happy to match into Emergency Medicine at the University of Utah. My time spent caring for patients in the ER with complex and life-altering medical conditions and wishing for more time to help patients navigate these challenges lead me to pursue a career in Hospice and Palliative Medicine. I'm excited to stay at the University of Utah as I work towards a combined career in EM and HPM.
