Why Ventura? Other than the obvious perks that accompany being by the beach, with great weather and in such a friendly community, it will be exciting to be so close to family and friends from college! Having completed an audition rotation, I gained firsthand experience with the knowledgeable, passionate, and supportive faculty and staff here at Community Memorial! I cannot wait to have the privilege to serve the Ventura and surrounding communities as a resident physician, advocating for quality healthcare, while breaking down language and cultural barriers to bring a holistic and integrative approach to family medicine.

Next Adventure: Hopefully getting a puppy after moving to Ventura!

Medical Interests: Women’s Health, Sports Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine
