Why did you decide to work at the University of Minnesota? The many opportunities to educate future physicians and neurologists, work with respected colleagues, and live in the Twin Cities area.

What is your favorite Minnesota activity? I’m looking forward to learning about the Twin Cities first hand and would like to explore all of the food options and winter sports.

Coolest/geekiest/most random thing about you? I love music, cooking at home, and hitting the road with family.

If you weren't a physician, you would be... A musician.
