“I am a third-year medical student at the University of Colorado interested in orthopedic surgery. Prior to medical school, I studied neuroscience and played field hockey at Dartmouth College, as well as worked as a consultant for orphan indication pharmaceuticals. My current research interests include the effect of GLP-1 agonists on bone integrity and LP-PRP injections for prevention of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. In my free time, I enjoy skiing, trail running, and traveling. I am looking forward to continuing my education in orthopaedics!”
