✨Get to know me✨

Hi everyone! I’m so thrilled to share a deeper dive into my world with you all. You might know me as a med student or a romance writer, but there’s so much more to this journey, and I’m excited to open up about it. It’s been quite a ride, balancing textbooks with creative writing, and I feel like I'm finally hitting my stride! Currently, I’m a 3rd-year med student, which means I’m almost done with my clinical rotations – a huge milestone! It’s intense, but I love the challenge, especially as I'm applying into Pediatrics. My days are a whirlwind of learning and patient care, often in sunny SoCal, which isn't too bad! It feels like just yesterday I was getting my diploma from UCSB, where I majored in Bio. I graduated with the Class of 2021, and after some amazing times in Greek life and working as a scribe, I took a gap year to really figure out my next steps before diving into medical school. Looking back, that gap year was crucial for recharging and preparing for the demands of this path. But medical school isn't my whole story. My heart also belongs to writing. I'm a passionate romance writer, and truly, it’s my creative outlet and a huge part of my work-life balance. There’s nothing quite like crafting a story, building characters, and watching a world unfold. My absolute favorite trope to explore is rivals-to-lovers – there’s just something about that tension and eventual surrender to love that I adore! I’m currently deep in the editing process for my second book, and it’s both challenging and incredibly rewarding to see it come to life. Writing isn't just a hobby; it's a profound passion that helps me decompress and express a different side of myself. Beyond my professional and creative pursuits, my personal life has seen some wonderful milestones too. Earlier this year, I got engaged to my high school sweetheart! It’s been an incredible journey growing up together, and I’m so excited for our future. And, of course, I can’t talk about my life without mentioning my furry best friend, Momo! She’s my adorable cat, and being a cat mom brings so much joy and cuddles into my busy schedule. My goals are simple yet profound: I strive for that elusive work-life balance, want to keep nurturing my creativity, and, most importantly, I want to keep sharing it all with you. Whether it’s insights from my med school journey, snippets from my writing world, or just everyday life with my fiancé and Momo, I hope to inspire and connect. Thanks for joining me on this adventure!
