Favorite place in the Madison area?
I’m brand new here, so I’m still discovering Madison! But so far, I’ve loved every trail I’ve explored with my dogs! The lakes are awesome, too, and there are tons of lakefront parks and trails I’m really looking forward to checking out!

The people – everyone is exceptionally kind and helpful! Every person you interact with wants to see you succeed! It really is remarkable! Everyone was also super helpful and supportive with the moving process!
Hobbies and interests outside of work?
Cheering for the Saints and Yankees! Taking my dogs Margeaux and Louis for adventure walks! Crafting and making memories with my best friend and her kids! I love creating costumes and holiday outfits and look forward to any excuse to wear them, especially Mardi Gras with my family!

Pediatrics! Also, global health, firearm injury prevention, and distance to rehab disparities!
