What are your favorite hobbies outside of work?

I love to cook and try new recipes! I’m a vegetarian so I am always looking for creative ways to incorporate vegetables into dishes or come up with meat substitutes. I am an amateur runner but love to go for runs along the water after work. I’ve done one half marathon before and hope to do another in Madison! And my most favorite activity is spending quality time with my friends and family 🙂

Why did you select the University of Wisconsin Dermatology Residency for your training?

On my interview day I instantly felt that UW Derm was a perfect fit for me! I loved the wide breadth of dermatology exposure while also getting the depth of training from faculty with specialized interests. I have a strong interest in medical education and was excited to see the ample opportunities for residents to be involved with med-ed! Overall the culture of the program is very supportive and residents have the autonomy to forge their path and explore their interests throughout training. Bonus: My fiancé and I couples matched dermatology and urology at UW!
