Why UC Davis Orthopaedic Surgery?
One thing that I wanted in a program, and that stuck out to me about UC Davis, was the feeling of family. That everyone had each other’s backs. There is always so much support in your learning and a culture of lifting each other up that was so important to me, not to mention the incredible training and faculty we get to work with every day.

Favorite thing to do in the Sacramento area?
One of my favorite things about Sacramento is the proximity to nature, even if it's just going on a walk by the river or driving up to Tahoe to do some more serious hiking, you are never too far from the outdoors.

Fun fact about you?
I have traveled to over 35 states, and my goal is to visit all 50!
