Why Community Memorial? As someone with strong family ties to Ventura County, I was initially interested in Community Memorial Healthcare for the opportunity to return to one of my favorite places. I became even more excited about the program after learning about its osteopathic recognition and commitment to holistic, patient-centered care. During my audition rotation, I experienced firsthand how supportive and welcoming the residents and faculty are, as well as the strong sense of teamwork that defines the program. I'm truly excited to be part of a team of intelligent, warm, and genuinely kind people, and to continue my training in a community that feels like home.

Hobbies: Skiing, scuba diving, volleyball, baking, sewing, reading, and any excuse to be outside!
