Why Ventura? Community Memorial is in the beautiful beach city of Ventura. Ventura is close enough to big cities (LA, Santa Barbara) but gives the vibe and experience of a smaller-town community. Having been in this program for several months now, the educational experience is phenomenal and I am feeling much more comfortable with my knowledge base. The attendings are great at teaching and best of all, they want to teach. The friendships made throughout the residency extend beyond just the individual program and it does not feel as if the programs are siloed from one another. Community Memorial has a strong support system and is a great foundation for those interested in Internal Medicine.

Hobbies: Frisbee, spending time with wife and two dogs (LabraDane and Pomeranian), reading/watching sci-fi, video games (primarily League of Legends, Need for Speed, Don’t Starve Together), and board games (Betrayal, Pandemic, Munchkins, Scotland Yard), making fudge (blueberry-lemon, Nutella-peanut butter, cookies and cream to list a few).

Medical Interest: Infectious Diseases, Cardiology, Ambulatory Medicine, Hospital Medicine.

She grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and attended college at Virginia Tech, where she earned a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies with emphases in gender studies and religious studies.

Looking for a change of scenery, she moved to the Bay Area to attend Touro University – California, where she earned a Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine as well as a Master of Public Health, with an emphasis in global health. During this time, she fell in love with West Coast weather and culture.
