My clinical education has provided broad exposure across inpatient, outpatient, procedural, and oncologic care. Through core clerkships, sub-internships, and specialty electives, I have developed a strong foundation in patient care while pursuing a particular interest in oncology and radiation medicine.
Featured Specialty Training
Mayo Clinic – Phoenix, AZ
At my second radiation oncology audition, I had unique exposure to Mayo Clinic's advanced proton therapy capabilities and radiation treatment facilities. I worked closely with experts in CNS oncology as well as experts in GI and lymphoma oncology. I had the opportunity to assist on an ongoing quality improvement project with Dr. Fan Yang and Dr. William Sperduto looking at MRI sequencing prior to SRS for intracranial metastasis. I additionally presented on low-grade glioma management in the era of IDH inhibitors and the role and timing of chemoRT.
University of Arizona – Tucson, AZ
At my first radiation oncology audition, I worked alongside the University of Arizona residents and attending faculty to continue building my knowledge of treatment planning, consulting, and contouring. Here I received my first exposure to HDR brachytherapy for treatment of NMSC. I also presented on one of my research interests of lymphatic-sparing radiotherapy for head and neck cancers in the era of immunotherapy. Additionally, I assisted in drafting a review manuscript highlighting radiation oncology advancements for internal medicine physicians.

Worked under the direction of Dr. Henderson Jones. Reviewed over 400 of his biopsies and final pathology for quality improvement and to better understand the key imaging features of cancerous lesions.

Worked with the surgery residency team at HonorHealth John C. Lincoln Hospital. While on rotation, I excelled at learning surgical indications, suturing techniques, and recognizing/treating surgical complications.
