Brief Profile:
I graduated with a Bachelor\'s degree in 2009 from Cal Poly. I currently work at two local hospitals as an emergency room scribe (this is my 4th year doing it). For fun, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and playing music- I have played the clarinet, bassoon, tuba, sousaphone, and am currently learning how to play the ukulele. I also recently got into fitness and health-- because of this I have been successful in losing 60 pounds!! (Go me!)
Other than that, I was very involved in college- VP/President of COSAM Ambassadors, member of multiple clubs, Alpha Chi Sigma Fraternity member, and participated in research. I investigated stem cell expression in Botrylloides violaceus for 1.5 years, and also completed a summer internship at VCU investigating the efficacy of cardiac MRIs.
