  • Graduate Medical Resident, Obstetrics & Gynecology

Hometown: Albuquerque, New Mexico

Favorite things to do in Pittsburgh:  I love getting outside at Frick Park and Schenley — they’re perfect for trails and a dose of greenery. Pittsburgh also has so many charming spots with little shops and cozy pubs to wander through. And since there are bike rentals right outside my apartment, my husband and I often hop on for rides around town or along the river trails.

Favorite Restaurant:  Noodle head! best noodles of my life

Favorite place for Take-out:  La Gourmandine

Favorite rotation so far:  I have genuinely enjoyed them all for different reasons. I’ve found something meaningful in every rotation, which has made the experience as a whole really positive so far.

Post-residency plans:  Right now, I think fellowship is in my future — I’m especially interested in MFM and pregnancy care — but what has been really exciting about residency is continually finding new aspects of the field that I really enjoy. I’ve been surprised by how many areas feel meaningful, so I’m keeping an open mind and trusting the process to help me find the best fit

What's your favorite thing about Pittsburgh/Magee:  I love the culture of Magee, everyone who works there seems so proud of that
