I am a fourth-year medical student at California Northstate University College of Medicine, and I am planning to go into internal medicine for residency. I grew up in Santa Cruz, California and attended college at UC Santa Barbara. I have an interest in gastroenterology, nutrition, and the mind-gut connection. During my free time, I enjoy running and reading historical fiction.




Lost and Found in Medical Training

Many people told me that my third year of medical school would be both the most rewarding and the most difficult. That I would choose my future specialty and discover my specific path in medicine — a task which, as I began the year, seemed both exciting and daunting. Little did I know that during my third year of medical school, I would learn just as much about myself as I would about patient care and the practice of medicine.
