OB-GYN Interests
I’m genuinely so excited about the full spectrum of OB-GYN, particularly high-risk obstetrics, sexual health, family planning, and medical education. I love that the specialty brings together longitudinal primary care, surgery, and advocacy. I’m also drawn to working with historically marginalized populations and advancing community-based approaches to reproductive healthcare.

Why I Like Denver
What’s not to love? The sunshine, the mountains, the microbreweries, proximity to Red Rocks, the sports teams, and the growing food scene—I’m excited about it all. I’m especially looking forward to training in a city that offers the resources of a major urban center with the welcoming feel of a close-knit community. Plus, it's an excellent home base for road trips!
Personal Interests
Hiking, camping, roadtripping, going to concerts, antique shopping, exploring new neighborhoods, or nestled inside, cooking, working on a puzzle, or binge-watching the latest Netflix drama with my wife.

I truly love everything about OB-GYN! It is the most amazing specialty and the relationships that we build with our patients are incredibly special. I am drawn to the field for its unique combination of surgical practice, long-term patient relationships, and advocacy for women's health. I have a particular interest in gynecologic oncology, palliative care, medical education and family planning where I’m inspired by the opportunity to provide compassionate, comprehensive care to patients facing complex and often life-changing situations. Regardless of weather I choose a subspecialty, I know I have chosen the best field and look forward to learning how to be the best OB-GYN at CU!

OB-GYN Interests
I LOVE this field! I think the nature of the physician-patient relationship in women’s health is uniquely personal and intimate and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve my patients in their most vulnerable moments. I am most interested in caring for underserved populations, gyn oncology and palliative care.

Why I Like Denver
Living in a large city with so much to do and explore AND being close to the mountains is a dream!
Personal Interests
I enjoy any opportunity to listen to live music, spend time outdoors, or explore a new brewery - even better if these 3 things are happening in one place! I also love spending time with loved ones, traveling, hiking, running, and baking.

I'm interested in birth justice and promoting safe, happy, and healthy births for my patients! I'm also interested in gyn-oncology, which is a really special field at the intersection of medicine, surgery, palliative care, and preventative care.

OB-GYN Interests
I love all that a career in OB-GYN has to offer - the ability to create long-lasting relationships with women of all ages, advocate for women's health, spend time in the OR, clinic, and L&D, and so much more! I really enjoy providing care for the underserved patient populations in the community. I would say I am most interested in becoming a generalist right now, but I am looking forward to exploring the different niches of OB-GYN throughout my time as a resident.

Why I Like Denver
What's NOT to like?! I love being able to do something outside and active year round - hiking and camping in the summer, skiing and snowboarding in the winter. The city of Denver itself also has so many delicious restaurants and fun neighborhoods and parks to explore. Not to mention the sunny weather and mountain views everywhere you look!
Personal Interests
I spend most of my free time surrounded by friends and family trying new restaurants or breweries, doing something outside, or playing (winning) charades. My passion is all things outdoors - hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, skiing, you name it. I am also an avid lover of musicals, particularly Hamilton!

OB-GYN Interests
I fell in love with the field as it really is the bridge between primary care for women and surgical expertise. I am excited to explore the various subspecialties at CU as well as opportunities to provide quality care to women and their families living on the Western Slope.

OB-GYN Interests
I love everything about OB-GYN from clinic to L&D to gyn-onc, and feel grateful to be present for some of the biggest moments in our patients' lives. Connecting with our amazing patient population through these moments is such an honor. Some specific interests include family planning, LGBTQ+ care, MIGS, and care for the underserved. I am motivated to keep learning about the gaps in our healthcare system through research, and hope to contribute to solutions.
