Interests

• Pathology/Research Interests: I've always been 100% forensics and neuropath, although I've recently discovered an unexpected love for dermpath!
• Research Interests: I've done research on transhealth topics prior to residency and would love to do a project looking at histological changes in reproductive organs on gender affirming surgery specimens from patients on long term hormone therapy
• What do you like about living in New Mexico: The cheaper cost of living! Coming from Portland, Albuquerque is extremely affordable and I was able to buy my first house, which is enormous compared to the basement apartment I moved here from! Of course there's also the food (sopapillas and honey, yum!!). I think my absolute favorite thing about New Mexico though, would be MeowWolf in Santa Fe!
• Interests Outside of Pathology: My house was built in 1951 and I spend a lot of time at estate sales, flea markets, and antique stores looking for fixtures, furniture, and decorations to "backdate" my house to a mid-century modern aesthetic. I am also a long time grassroots political organizer and am still very active in a political organization I co-founded in Portland.

Why I enjoy the pathology program at UNM

I am incredibly grateful for the amazing support of the 2nd-4th year residents who have gone above and beyond to help me since I started on some particularly challenging rotations. They are gems!
