"Our monthly social events are always a big hit, and they are sponsored by the department. They really care!"

Hometown: San Francisco, CA

Personal Statement: I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, attended Williams College in western Massachusetts for college, bounced back to my hometown for medical school at UCSF, and am now excited to experience something new at WashU.  Beyond its standout faculty and residents, I chose WashU for its complete clinical training and collaborative research environment.  I also had St. Louis ribs during my visit out here and now understand why people care so much about regional differences in barbecue.

Outside of the hospital, I enjoy time with friends, the Golden State Warriors, Japanese food, and non-Japanese food.
