To celebrate the Department of Anesthesiology's House Officer Appreciation Week, Feb. 22-26, 2021, we meet one house officer from each class and learn a bit more about what makes them tick. Enjoy!

I am pursuing anesthesiology because: The concept of being able to use what I've learned and will learn during residency to help a person make it through a surgery as safely and comfortably as possible makes me excited to be in this field.
In my time here, I have most enjoyed: Being able to explore the various trails and parks around the Omaha area.
Three things you may not know about me are:
- I put together my own desktop computer in college to save some money after my laptop computer died.
- I’ve traveled to 10 different countries so far in my life and look forward to doing more traveling someday in the future.
- I'm a Green Bay Packers fan from Minnesota.
