Summary

  • I graduated from Midwestern Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2018 and completed internal medicine residency training, with a focus on hospital systems and health equity, at the University of Colorado in 2021. I spent an additional year as Chief Resident of Quality and Patient Safety at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA, where I helped lead residency and hospital-wide initiatives in quality improvement and patient safety. I now work for the Division of Hospital Medicine at the University of Colorado as an board-certified, academic hospitalist. Ultimately, I plan to undergo more training to better lead health services research initiatives with the goal of increasing patient safety, enhancing hospital efficiency, and decreasing low-value care.
