Yesterday felt like a dream. I matched at Johns Hopkins!! and celebrated with all the people who made this happen: my husband, family, coresidents, and mentors. Forever grateful for their love and support. I’m going to be a Surgical Oncologist!

My job is in Baltimore, but my baseball team (and my heart) is in Cleveland. We’ve been anticipating this series all season!! #GoGuards

Finally made our trip to Hawaii (originally planned for 2020) happen. Ryan is the better trip planner, photographer, and vegan food finder. Unfortunately for him, he’s been married to (stuck with) this passenger princess for 8 years and hopefully many more. 🌴🩷🐠🐙🐢

Reading the memoir of a surgeon who trained in the 1960s (in Cleveland!) and this excerpt about Dr. Zollinger and the oral boards made me laugh. It also made me grateful that the standardization of the exam has improved in the last 60 years… and relieved it’s behind me.

At a random brewery in Philly. The way everyone here is hanging with every shot of a women’s basketball game (in Cleveland) is making me emotional in ways I can’t articulate. Thank you, Caitlin. And Paige, Dawn, Kim, Angel, Geno, Kamilla, Cotie…

Unbelievable tragedy in Baltimore today. I’ve taken many photos of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and the ships that enter and leave port. We picked our apartment specially for this view. Absolutely heartbreaking. Left: 1/22/24 Right: 3/26/24

Spent my birthday doing the same things as any other Saturday (just with more photos), and it was pretty perfect. 💙❤️

Highlight of the weekend was this find from my sister, who likes to scope out estate sales in the DMV area. I’d like to think this fellow Cleveland-trained surgeon would have enjoyed knowing some of their textbooks made it to a new home.

Hard to believe we’ve been in Baltimore 6 months! Loving it here, even if the weather is reminding us of Cleveland this week. ❄️❄️

Always amazed by the resilience and optimism of patients and families that spend holidays in the hospital. Privileged to help care for them, lucky to still get to spend part of the day celebrating with these cuties.

Happy Holidays from the Johns Hopkins Surgical Oncology fellows!

Throwback to 2004, when my 14 year old self (wearing a “Lose Carbs, Eat Wolverines” t shirt) and my mom walked around our neighborhood playing Ohio State fight songs after a victory over ❌ichigan. It’s a way of life. Go Bucks. Beat Blue.

I don’t know if the fake meat products are getting better every year, or if my taste buds are just becoming less discriminating. I hope everyone enjoyed their main dish as much as I loved my Tofurkey! #HappyThanksgiving #GoBucks

My Dad took me to this game back in 2006. Troy cemented the Heisman, @TBDBITL sank the Titanic, we rushed the field and sang Carmen Ohio with thousands of crazy Buckeye fans. One of the best days ever. #TheGame

Shoutout to one of the @JohnsHopkins medical students who gave me the inside info. Had fun watching the game at a Buckeye bar with some Baltimore beer. #GoBucks

Our annual trip to NY included a couple days in the city, a couple days in Hudson Valley, friends, food, and summit views with local brews. And we did all of our traveling by train or our own two feet! @ryanwiens77

Ends of rotations always make me reflective, especially when I have views like this as I leave work. Feeling so lucky to be spending two years here. – at Baltimore, MD

Feeling settled in our new city! Loving the people, the vegan food, the water, and even found our new favorite dog-friendly brewery 🥰 Looking forward to calling Baltimore home for the next two years! #CharmCity

What an amazing opportunity to learn from experts, finally see some interview trail folks in person, and get a jump start for the next two years! Thanks to everyone who made this incredible course happen.

Leaving Cleveland in style! Got a chance to take fancy photos at some of our favorite spots. I have no words to describe what this city, and the people who live here, have meant to me and @ryanwiens77 over the last 7 years. Forever grateful. On to Baltimore!
