My home town is Vegas, baby! I graduated from the University of Nevada School of Medicine. I choose University of Arizona for residency for the great location, great resident and faculty interaction, and the new children’s hospital. I appreciate the opportunity to learn in so many different subspecialties. I love my intern class, our seniors, chiefs, attendings, and my patients. Pediatrics is a happy place! I am not married but do have a moody, demanding Calico cat named Toki, whom I love. In my free time I love to watch cartoons (especially the Simpsons) and Top Chef. I also love to sleep whenever I get the chance! Once I have conquered residency I plan to take on the challenge of pediatric cardiology.
