Biography

My journey into education began in 2007 when I joined Teach for America following undergrad. While I ultimately became a PA, my love for teaching never waned and I frequently worked on projects that involved education. In 2023 I underwent training to become a Wilderness Medicine Instructor and my love of teaching was fully reignited. As I started teaching more courses, my career started shifting towards full time academia. I continue seeing patients once a week and volunteer with organizations abroad.
The coalescence of education and medicine has been a dream come true.
