Fellows | Leadership in Preventive Medicine Fellowship

Surfing, listening to music and seeing it live, reading about disasters, learning film photography.

Great training with many local partnerships in a community that is close to my home, a bit of "choose your own adventure" flexibility within the fellowship to pursue interests that already do, or may come to exist during training.

I'm excited to be part of the Leadership in Preventive Medicine fellowship at Maine Med because of the opportunity to continue to learn about the community I have gotten to know through living here before medical school and during residency. I'm looking forward to fostering relationships with community partners, supporting community-identified needs, and learning from community wisdom. The design of the fellowship emphasizes all of these things both through intentional curricular design and through a flexible schedule that will allow me to pursue these interests with the support of faculty.

Trail running, hiking, any sort of paddling (now we live near the ocean yay!), gardening, building wilderness shelters, bonfire nights, cooking, traveling, reading fantasy

My family and I have wanted to move to Maine for some time and this was a perfect time for us to move for family reasons and also for an incredible opportunity to continue my training in Preventive Medicine at Maine Med, since I have had a strong interest in public health since before medical school.

Someone involved with agriculture, land management, forestry, land conservation in some way.

I spent one year as a teaching assistant in Madrid, Spain through the Fulbright Exchange program, then spent a year working at farms in Massachusetts and California.

Best job – Working at a small family run chicken farm in Lompoc California through the WWOOF association. Communal living, sunny days everyday, no bugs, fun manual labor all day = great sleep!
