As a lover of the outdoors, Rachel knew she belonged in the west, especially after
living and working in Colorado before starting medical school. Her passion for family
medicine flourished when she realized it is a very versatile specialty. Rachel is
interested in everything from patient centered care, procedures, emergency and urgent
care, integrative medicine, rural medicine, LGBTQ+ health care, wilderness medicine,
OB and women’s health. Rachel is also interested in international medicine and looks
forward to medical mission trips throughout her career.
Rachel values traveling and loves experiencing culture, food, and various landscapes.
She plans to incorporate her travels, her residency training, and both her master's
in public health and health psychology to provide holistic multidisciplinary medical
care.
When she is not studying or working, she enjoys games, exercising, hiking with her
girlfriend and dog, camping, playing most sports, snowboarding, golfing, or biking.
If not a physician, Rachel would have been a chef and a restaurant owner as she enjoys
crafting meals and drinks and serving it to others. After residency, she plans to
travel, write a book or two, and have her own taco truck with farm fresh sustainable
ingredients.
