Work & Education Background:

In my role with Neurology, I was the department expert on faculty promotions and served as the administrative support for the faculty wellness and IDEAS (inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism, social justice) committees.”
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
“I am equally a homebody as I am an outdoor enthusiast. Some of my hobbies include traveling, hiking, karaoke, trivia, and playing different types of games (video game, board game- all types!). I also love spending time at home with my two kitties.”
