I grew up in Southern California but have been on the East Coast for the last six years.\u00a0 I graduated from Amherst College in 2016, and I spent two years before medical school working as a post-baccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award fellow at the National Institutes of Health.\u00a0 I managed chronic pain clinical trials, and I especially loved working with women with chronic pain, validating their experience, and facilitating meaningful care.\u00a0 It was rewarding, especially in times like these, to be working on non-addictive strategies for chronic pain management. \u00a0\u00a0This fall, I started medical school here at UNMC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why UNMC?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I spent the summer of 2015 working with infectious disease doctors Mark Rupp, Angela Hewlett, and Trevor VanSchooneveld, and it was that summer that clarified my desire to pursue a career in medicine.\u00a0 It was the first time I saw people doing exactly what I wanted to do: provide patient care and lead clinical research teams. I\u2019m so grateful to have the opportunity to pursue my calling in the place where I found it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So does this mean you\u2019re going to go into ID?\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m not sure!\u00a0 The infectious disease department has certainly been a home for me, but I\u2019m trying my best to keep an open mind.\u00a0 I am very lucky to have many physician mentors who love their specialties and encourage students to follow their paths.\u00a0 However, I think it\u2019s one thing to observe others and another to provide care myself.\u00a0 I am excited for next spring when I start my clinical rotations to get a better sense of what I am good at and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us something about yourself that isn\u2019t related to medicine<\/strong>. I\u2019ve been playing French horn for 10 years, and serendipitously UNMC started the Nebraska Medical Orchestra this year!\u00a0 Playing music has always been my preferred way to relieve stress, and I enjoy meeting new people I wouldn\u2019t otherwise encounter in my daily routine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2366 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/infectious-disease\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/12\/french-34799__340-300x213.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"148\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/infectious-disease\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/12\/french-34799__340-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/infectious-disease\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/12\/french-34799__340-120x85.png 120w, https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/infectious-disease\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2019\/12\/french-34799__340.png 478w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 148px) 100vw, 148px\" \/><\/p>\n<form name=\"s2form\" method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/blog.unmc.edu\/infectious-disease\/subscribe2\/\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ip\" value=\"216.73.216.113\" \/><span style=\"display:none !important\"><label for=\"firstname\">Leave This Blank:<\/label><input type=\"text\" id=\"firstname\" name=\"firstname\" \/><label for=\"lastname\">Leave This Blank Too:<\/label><input type=\"text\" id=\"lastname\" name=\"lastname\" \/><label for=\"uri\">Do Not Change This:<\/label><input type=\"text\" id=\"uri\" name=\"uri\" value=\"http:\/\/\" \/><\/span><p><label for=\"s2email\">Your email:<\/label><br><input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" id=\"s2email\" value=\"Enter email address...\" size=\"20\" onfocus=\"if (this.value === 'Enter email address...') {this.value = '';}\" onblur=\"if (this.value === '') {this.value = 'Enter email address...';}\" \/><\/p><p><input type=\"submit\" name=\"subscribe\" value=\"Subscribe\" \/>&nbsp;<input type=\"submit\" name=\"unsubscribe\" value=\"Unsubscribe\" \/><\/p><\/form>\r\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us a little about yourself.
