Favorite things to do in Colorado: Deer and pheasant hunting with my bird dog! Hiking and camping are also pretty fun when you can get the time/reservations.
Why NCFM: Some of the best full scope FM training on the planet and being able to do a rural tract close to my hometown means I basically get to start taking care of the people I grew up with in residency!
Where I see myself after residency: A career as rural as I can find is preferable, especially taking care of the farmers whose wives made them come in. Still making up my mind on the OB side of things, but otherwise cradle to grave care with some ER coverage!

Hometown: Cotton, MN
Undergrad: The College of St. Scholastica
Medical School: University of Minnesota, Duluth
Favorite things to do in Colorado: Weekend hikes with my husband and our sweet pup, Kiki. I also love trying all the new breweries - bonus if they have great food. I am always looking for the best cheeseburger!
Why NCFM: First and foremost... the PEOPLE! The residents, faculty, and clinic/hospital staff are some of the most caring people you will ever meet. They go above and beyond to ensure your well-being and education are put first. You also cannot beat the rigorous training of Greeley - including our high-risk labor deck, complex medicine service, procedure heavy ER rotations, high-volume clinic, and so much more!

Favorite things to do in Colorado: Hiking, skiing, and biking with my partner and dog! I really enjoy getting to the mountains whenever I can.

Where I see myself after residency: I hope to return to rural Maine to provide full-spectrum care including surgical OB, inpatient medicine, and potentially ED medicine.
