I love anything that challenges me to learn and find new angles. This has and will continue to include any interest I can cram into my life!! I love wet labs, teaching and mentoring students, violin & chamber groups, volunteering with underserved populations, anything biology, pigeons, hypotheticals, sci-fi, and on, and on, and on. I just want to keep exploring, giving back, and learn how to be a good doctor!
