Three things people may not know about me:
- I greatly enjoy travelling and have been to 12 different countries. My favorite is Italy, and I have visited four times. My dream trip is to visit Japan.
- One of my interests is art history. Before going to medical school, I spent one year working in the National Gallery of Art’s Conservation Department in Washington, D.C. I participated in the construction of their sculpture garden and assisted in the restoration of Mark di Suvero’s Aurora.
- My undergraduate school, Vassar College, did not have a football team. Therefore, I have become an instant Nebraska Cornhuskers fan and am excited to cheer them on this season.
