background
I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska. I first moved to the Pacific Northwest for college and attended medical school at Oregon Health & Science University, followed by internal medicine residency at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. My clinical interests include valvular heart disease, cardiac imaging, healthcare equity, and structural interventional cardiology. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy trail running, biking, skiing, and exploring the beautiful PNW in every season.
