Staying Balanced:
Things that have helped me stay balanced: working out most days, getting outside, grilling out
with friends, prayer and meditation.
I’ve had to work on balance throughout medical school, and now that I’m finally getting the hang of it, I’m graduating!
Three things people may not know about me:
1. I was born at 25 1/2 weeks.
2. I played the alto saxophone for five years in the Cornhusker Marching Band.
3. My favorite activities are hiking, camping and cooking over an open fire!
