As an undergraduate, she studied at the University of Texas at Austin where she was often involved in community service. She became interested in being a physician in limited resource settings after volunteering at a local clinic in Austin for the medically under-served.

She then went on to medical school at the Baylor College of Medicine, where she also stayed for residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. During her time at Baylor, she was very involved in developing the global health curriculum for medical students. She also worked as a volunteer for Engineers Without Borders. She is excited to be a part of the UCSF Global Health team and looks forward to exploring her interests in point-of-­care diagnostic ultrasound training and healthcare workforce development in under-served areas.
