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
