Tell us about the position you are starting.
I am excited to be starting my fellowship in Infectious Diseases at UNMC! As a fellow, I will have the opportunity to learn about many different aspects of infectious diseases in both clinical practice and research.
Why did you choose to come work at UNMC?
Working at UNMC gives me the opportunity to work alongside world-class physicians and serve my local community at the same time. I have spent most of my life in Omaha and I am happy to be close to my family as well. UNMC’s ID department is truly exceptional, and I am so proud to be part of it!
What makes you excited about working in ID?
To me, ID is the most interesting and exciting field in medicine! I love working through complex cases that require critical thinking and broad medical knowledge. It is a privilege to learn so much about our patients and their lives. ID also provides a unique opportunity to care for underserved and marginalized patients who are often disproportionately impacted by infectious diseases. I admire so many amazing ID physicians who are great leaders in our hospitals and community and I’m excited to be able to learn from them.
Tell us something about yourself that is unrelated to medicine.
I love everything about the natural world- animals, plants (and microbes!) I enjoy spending time outside and learning about creatures I encounter, as well as spending time at home with my two cats.
