I grew up in Boise Idaho before receiving a scholarship to play division II college soccer at Regis University. My passion for traveling and learning about different people and cultures was born through a team trip to Trinidad and Tobago. I built on this passion through spending a summer in Italy as an Au Pair and a subsequent summer studying abroad in Bangkok. Before graduation I began working as an ED medical scribe and continued in this position after graduation (2018) while also taking on work with a travel company. When I committed to becoming a physician, I took on the chief scribe position at my site, managing 35 employees. Now, I have moved to Saint Louis and am halfway through my first year of medical school. I have started working with a lab in the biochemistry department and hope to one day go into emergency medicine.
