I grew up in Houston, Texas, where I attended the University of Houston and studied Media Production with plans to pursue a career in special effects. During that time, I discovered a love for prayer, meditation, and theology. While discerning a vocation to Catholic monastic life, God turned my heart toward serving through medicine. I am so thankful for the grace He has sown across my life and for leading me to the IHI family. In my free time, I’m a hardcore board game nerd, a wannabe mixologist, and generally happiest with a good book.
