Meet the Fellows

What drew you to this field? I wanted to work with dancers and athletes to help them keep doing what they love. 

What are your clinical interests? Given my background with dance and music, I am particularly interested in performing arts medicine. 

What are your research interests? dance medicine, sports specialization

Why did you choose Lurie? I wanted to do fellowship in an area with performing arts, I thought Chicago would be a fun place to live for a year, and I enjoyed meeting everyone on interview day. I also have fun working with kids. 

What do you do for fun or to relax? Dance (of course), explore the town, listen to music, and go on international trips!

What do you love most about Chicago? It's such a fun city! It's so cool to have the city and beaches together in one place, there are lots of things to do, and it's very walkable and easy to use the public transit. 

What advice would you give a resident thinking of entering the field? Get as much exposure to the field as you can, don't be afraid to ask questions, and have fun!
