Biography

About Me: Born and bred in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia), I’ve been an East Coaster most of my life, but I love being a Midwesterner now! I used to own a photography business but traded up for Urology – now I do photography in my free time or when traveling! Before residency I hiked the O circuit in Patagonia, Chile, and then spent a few weeks in Japan. I finally figured out how to make my own sushi at home! On my weekends you can find me at the farmers market, paddle boarding, climbing, hiking, all things outdoors; and cooking elaborate meals for one or twenty.
Why I Chose Ϲ: I remember feeling very at home during my Ϲ interview. While I only had loose ties to Wisconsin, I felt like moving to Milwaukee would be a homecoming of sorts for me and that is in part due to the genuineness and humility I felt from everyone on interview day. The program also checked so many boxes from being a level one trauma center to having redundant fellowship trained faculty in almost every discipline. All of it together showed me Ϲ would be a wonderful place to train for five years!
Favorite Part of Milwaukee: Milwaukee is a lively, affordable city with nice, down-to-earth people who really just want to have a good time when they’re not working! It’s that simple. There is always a way to have a good time, whether it’s going for a bike ride at Veterans Park, checking out a new James Beard award winning restaurant, or seeing a show at one of the city’s many historic theaters. It’s so much more than I expected and it’s easy to make it yours!
