Medical Interests: I am still exploring my specific medical interests, but I am excited to learn and grow at Conemaugh. I look forward to experiencing diverse clinical settings and discovering what inspires me most in the field of medicine.

Personal Goals: My goal in medicine is to work in rural healthcare settings, where I can make a meaningful impact on underserved communities. I am passionate about learning how to offer compassionate, comprehensive care to patients who may not have easy access to specialized services. By immersing myself in rural medicine, I aim to develop a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by these populations and how to address them effectively. Ultimately, I hope to build lasting relationships with my patients and contribute to improving their overall health and well-being.

Hobbies: I enjoy running, which helps me stay disciplined and push my limits both physically and mentally. As an avid reader, I
constantly seek to expand my knowledge, and I find great fulfillment in coaching track, where I can mentor athletes and
inspire them to reach their full potential.

Interesting fact(s): I was a member of the Team USA bobsled North American Cup team.
