Start Year: 2025

Fellowship Track: Clinical

Originally from: Denver, Colorado

Education and training:

• Undergraduate: Colorado State University in Fort Collins
• Medical School: University of Colorado SOM in Aurora
• Residency: University of Vermont in Burlington

Career goals:

• Help people achieve hormonal harmony through patient centered care and evidenced-based practice.
• Spread osteoporosis awareness and close care gaps.

Reasons I chose Duke:

• Duke has a close-knit Endocrinology community, a fellow-driven program, approachable faculty, extensive clinical/research opportunities, and a great surrounding city and landscape. The harder question would be, why not Duke?

Happy surprises:

• The whole hospital has been full of kind people, from the neurosurgery residents to the hospitalists to the nurses.
• The decorated food scene in Durham (my favorites so far are Isaacs Bagels, Fonda Lupita, Namu, and Roses Noodles).
• The sense of community was past what I could have imagined. People here remember you and your story and genuinely focus on making you succeed. During my first day on the inpatient service, I was separately approached by the program director, multiple APPs, my attending and a second-year fellow to see if I had questions or if there was anything I needed.
