Hometown:<\/b>\u00a0 <\/span>Overland Park, KS<\/p>\n

Undergrad:<\/b> Washington University<\/p>\n

Medical School:\u00a0<\/b>University of Miami<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies:<\/b> I really enjoy going to music shows of all types, especially EDM. I enjoy hiking and climbing, playing tennis, spending time with my puppy Nova, eating at all the best restaurants, watching TV, sleeping, and cooking\/baking. I am a huge fan of alternative organized activities, examples for reference include taking sushi making classes, learning how to arrange a flower bouquet, apple picking, drawing, etc. Big fan of doing stuff!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Why HCMC? <\/b>It is the people, the alumni, and the city that drew me to HCMC. I have a very unique non-traditional career path ahead of me, and it’s going to need a lot of non-traditional support, and I know the people of HCMC will rally behind me to help prepare me to become the best doctor and one day, space doctor! Also as a Midwesterner that has been in a Miami world for the past 4 years, Minneapolis feels much more like home!<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n
