Interests and Activities
Personal Interests
I love being outside in beautiful Colorado - hiking, running, camping, snowshoeing - especially if my two dogs (Sulley and Pula) can come along. I also enjoy trying new restaurants, creative plant-based cooking, and going to concerts (especially at Red Rocks!).
Volunteer Activities
I am passionate about improving inclusion and universal accessibility for individuals with disabilities. I helped to establish the Boulder Ballet Adaptive Dance Program and enjoy volunteering with them. Additionally, I love talking to medical students about how wonderful Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (especially Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine) is!
