What I like best about being a Mountaineer: What I like best about being a Mountaineer is the sense of community that comes with being a Mountaineer. Also, I am excited to serve the people from my home state!

Why Family Medicine? I chose family medicine because it gives me a chance to form strong bonds with my patients and their family members. I enjoy the idea of continuity of care.

Before Medical School: Before medical school I worked with the Boy Scouts of America and I also enjoyed traveling the East Coast for hockey during my undergraduate studies. I studied Immunology and Medical Microbiology at WVU during undergrad as well.

I enjoy: I enjoy doing anything outdoors that can help me burn off some energy. I still enjoy playing rec league hockey and spending time with my family and friends.
