Why Nephrology: It intimidated me in medical school so I chased after it. I love the intellectual stimulation of the pathophysiology, the longevity of care you experience with your patients and the high retention of general medical knowledge.
Hobbies/Interests: Snowboarding, hockey, traveling, sushi, drawing, taking the road less traveled.
Plans After Fellowship: Transplant nephrology or working with the community.
