background

I originally grew up in Lynnwood, WA then moved to the Bay Area for undergrad and a brief stint in health tech. I spent some time in New York for medical school at NYMC before moving back to the West Coast for residency at UW. I enjoy traveling, playing board/card games, and eating delicious food (especially tacos). You can usually find me taking too many photos of my British Shorthair named Pancake
