Bio

Fourth-year medical student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, completing clinical training on the rural Saint Joseph campus. Hold a Master of Science in Global Health and preparing to apply for residency in 2027. Clinical interests center on the care of medically underserved populations, with particular focus on rural communities and the systems that determine whether patients can access continuous, high-quality care. Research experience spans pediatric chronic disease and translational science, including active involvement in projects examining transitions of care for patients aging out of pediatric subspecialty management. Residency training will integrate direct patient care with public health, advocacy, and global health practice. The long-term goal is to serve in clinical and policy roles that strengthen care delivery in rural and resource-limited settings, both domestically and internationally.
