Why did you choose the College of Medicine – Tucson Pediatrics Residency Program? I am a University of Arizona undergraduate alum and Wildcat for life!

What are your personal interests and hobbies? I enjoy traveling, exploring the delicious Tucson food scene, hiking, crafting, and spending time with my husband and our French bulldog, Rufus!

What is your favorite thing about Tucson? I love the beautiful desert landscape and variety of unique restaurants!
