Meet Our Fellows

Page Content

The Anesthesiology Critical Care Medicine Fellowship trains five fellows every year. Our fellows work closely with other critical care fellows from pulmonary, emergency medicine, surgery, nephrology, and neurology. Across programs, around 45 critical care fellows train together each year. Our programs are closely integrated, sharing didactics, workshops, rotations, and extra-curricular activities. These integrated training programs provide a diverse and robust learning environment and a buffer with scheduling whenever absences occur.

We love to travel, and I plan to take the kids to Europe once done with the Fellowship. I personally love sports either participating or watching. I am a big Wisconsin sports fan, specifically the Packers and the Bucks.

Personal hobbies and interests: Spending time with my growing family. I was a competitive athlete in soccer growing up and traveled internationally and across the nation for tournaments, ultimately culminating in a scholarship as a Division-1 NCAA athlete. I've since veered from the straight and narrow, and discovered a love for wine after working at an award-winning winery following undergrad. As a PNW-native I'd be remiss not to acknowledge my love for coffee. Other interests include hiking, camping, snowboarding, traveling, and broadening my social circle.
