Interests

Being from Silicon Valley, I'm obviously a huge tech and finance nerd. In my free time, I love reading about and tinkering with all things tech and cars, playing video games (always up for a game of Smash or Halo), playing tennis and exploring the great Californian outdoors.

Why did you choose UCDavis EM?

UCD was basically #1 on my list even before I interviewed there. As a 3 year academic program in Northern California with close ties to Kaiser, top-notch professors and all the amenities you can ask for, it basically sells itself on paper. Then you actually get there, see the beautiful hospital, meet all the awesome staff, residents and faculty and realize that there's no place you'd rather be.
