Editor’s Note: Each month, InterCOM will highlight a "Student of the Month" from the College of Medicine. Students will be featured for their participation in activities outside of medical school and for making a difference in the community. The goal is to recognize students for what they are doing and to encourage other students to get involved in the community. After all, medical school should be much more than studying.

Staying Balanced:
I try to make time every day to hit the running trails, cook dinner, and relax with my husband. In addition, I take advantage of extra time to decompress on the weekends, because I struggle if I don't take time to pursue the things I love. My husband and I enjoy spending time with our families and friends, watching sports, and exploring all that Omaha has to offer.
Three things people don't know about me:
I am one of six children and enjoyed growing up in a large family.
I have always loved being around kids, and I hope to practice medicine as a pediatric sub-specialist of some sort.
My favorite TV show is "The Office."
