  • About Me

    I grew up just outside of Chicago but left the city the day after graduating high school to move to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky for rock climbing. I spent some time traveling, climbing, and living out of my Subaru before making my way to Westminster College in Salt Lake City. It didn’t take long to fall in love with Utah and I am so excited to be back!

    Interests & Hobbies

    Anything outside, preferably in the mountains, but the desert is alright too. My main sport is climbing, but I also enjoy mountain biking, snowboarding, and running. My other hobby is baking, and then promptly indulging in said baked goods – cheesecake, apple pie, crème brulee, you name it!

    Why Utah?

    So many reasons! Virtual interviews were a bit of a drag, but if virtual hang outs can be fun, Utah’s was definitely the most fun! The current residents all seemed awesome and equally psyched to work hard and play hard. On top of already being a stellar program and knowing I would get a great education, the location and outdoor access was simply the cherry on top. I am beyond excited to join the Utah EM family!
