How did you fall in love with your field?
I took a psychology course in high school and found myself absolutely fascinated by the brain. That fascination only grew through college and into medical school, making neurology my dream choice as a medical subspecialty. I specialized further in movement disorders because we deal with many chronic neurodegenerative conditions, and it’s a privilege to be the neurologist who is with the patient and their family as they navigate through it.
Three things people may not know about me:
- Neurology is truly a family affair for me — my older sister works with brain and spinal cord injury patients as an occupational therapist, my twin sister is a neurology resident here at UNMC, and my brother-in-law is a fellow in movement disorders here!
- My twin and I have been to 100s of concerts and have gotten to meet most of our favorite bands. We’ve waited 8+ hours in Nebraska winters to be in the front row.
- I come from a family of true Nebraskans. My grandfather was presented the Pioneer Award for our family farming the same land for over 100 years.
