Why did you choose the U of M for your residency?

What do you do when you’re not practicing medicine?

I spend as much time as I can with my wife and our two children. Together we enjoy fishing and swimming at my parents lake in Wisconsin during the summer. During the winter time I like to go ice fishing, skating, and sledding with my family.

Why did you choose the U of M for your residency?

I chose U of M for residency because of the great experience I had during my interview and the exceptional learning opportunities the U of M offers. We rotate at three separate institutions (U of M, Minneapolis, VA, and HCMC) which gives you a good variety of radiology practices and patient populations. This diversity allows you to develop into a very well rounded and competent general radiologist.

Why did you choose the U of M for your residency?

My husband matched at the University of Minnesota for Integrated Interventional Radiology the year prior to me, and I am so glad that he did. It afforded us both the opportunity to train at the U of M. I love the diversity of pathology at our many training sites, and the genuinely kind and supportive leadership and staff. The residents are a tight-knit group, and I have made many lifelong friends! Additionally, Minneapolis is a beautiful and affordable city to live in. 

Where do you see yourself in the near future?

After residency, I will be headed to Massachusetts General Hospital for fellowship in Breast Imaging.
