My Passion

I had a great biology teacher in high school who piqued my interest in life sciences. I decided to practice medicine, because I like to problem solve, and I love working with people. I’m happy when I get to help my patients, provide reassurance, or move toward a solution to a problem.

After Hours

I live in Minneapolis with my fiancée and our dogs – 6-year-old golden retriever, Layla, and a rescue greyhound mix, Herbie. I enjoy biking, and am hoping to try bikepacking, which is camping with all of your supplies packed on a bike. I also play piano and violin, and enjoy writing. I’ve published a few journalistic and education articles, and aim to get more involved in medical journalism.
