I joined the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) because I saw an opportunity to work with a leadership team that has shared vision - making the wellbeing of all its members a strategic priority. The absolutely beautiful city of Reno was an added bonus!

There is an incredible amount of support and community both in Reno and at UNR Med. The community here is simply unmatched, and I have met some of the most incredible friends and mentors here, we have a true sense of collaboration over competition.
