About me: I am a born and bred SoCal girl who loves her kitty, Maya. I love spending time with family and friends and live to build relationships with people. I moved to Boston for college where I learned that I cannot live without the sun and that I cannot live with snow. I have been living my best life back home in SoCal and am so excited to be joining Eisenhower!

Academic Highlight: As an MS2, I participated in the SIMS Fellowship at Betty Ford Center for Addiction Treatment. I also got a 5 on my AP Chem exam in high school and will brag about that forever.

Why Eisenhower Medical Center: I chose Eisenhower Medical Center because from the moment I began my interview, I felt like I was home. Eisenhower’s mission and clinical priorities are incredibly aligned with my own, and I felt like I had found my people. I have a strong passion for mental health in primary care, advocacy for foundational addiction treatment, and healthcare for underserved and minority populations, and these are all things that Eisenhower focuses on in their training. I am so excited to be joining the Eisenhower FM family!
