About me: I am a Colorado girl at heart and love to be outside. This drove me to study geology, and eventually led me to research on earthquake-induced landslides. While I enjoyed geology, my desire to have the skills to intervene in a post-disaster setting partially drove my transition to medicine. I am particularly interested in learning the skills to practice effectively in low-resource settings. My current areas of interest include pulmonary disease, musculoskeletal injuries, and infectious diseases. I am also very interested in the impacts of climate change on health, from vector borne disease distribution to extreme weather related disaster preparedness and response. My long-term goal is to work for an organization (perhaps the WHO) to implement sustainable improvements in healthcare globally, accounting for differential resources and culture surrounding health. My favorite part of the pathway is learning from my classmates!
