Bio
Hello! I graduated from Emory University with a BA in history and political science. Subsequently, I served as a US Army officer for three years before beginning medical school at New York Medical College. I also received a Masters in Translational Medicine at UC Berkeley/UCSF. I have experience in hospital quality improvement, American history after the Civil War, military history, and major organ pathology. I have a number of outdoor interests which include skiing, trail running, fishing, and mountain biking. I'm thrilled to be a mentor!Project ideas

Strategies to reduce Incidence of Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the United States, and yet is also one of the most common. There are a number of social media education strategies that can be employed at health delivery site in communities across the country that may help reduce the alarming rate of colon cancer. Much of this has to do with increasing awareness related to dietary habits, nutrition, smoking, and other social habits. I think this would be a terrific project to take the lead on.
Teaching experience
I have mentored a student applying to medical school through the Posse Veterans Program.Credentials
