Why I chose this program/location for my training

I am originally from West Michigan and was fortunate enough to be placed at Trinity Health Muskegon for my third and fourth-year medical school rotations. During this time, I became familiar with the hospital, patient population, and residency program. I loved learning from the residents and faculty at Trinity Health Muskegon and was confident that the OB/GYN training here would be exceptional.

I appreciate the team atmosphere and the learning opportunities available to the trainees in both obstetrics and gynecology. I am very thankful for the opportunity to be here!

My fiancé and I are always scheming to travel if we have the opportunity. And above all, any time spent with my people (family, friends, or my husky) is time well-spent!

Why I chose this program/location for my training

Being from West Michigan, I knew I wanted to return home to complete my residency training so that we could be near our family and a community we love. I completed an elective rotation at Trinity Health Muskegon during my clinical rotations in medical school and fell in love with the people and enjoyed serving women from the community where I grew up.

The residents and attendings were always so encouraging, I loved showing up each day, and I knew that if I came to this program I would receive an excellent education that prepared me to care for women across their lifespan.

Hobbies/interests outside of work

I love spending time with my husband and two children. We love anything outdoors, but our favorite thing to do is go out on the boat with family in Northern Michigan. We also enjoy sports, whether watching or playing.
