THIRD YEAR RESIDENTS

	Alana Benjamin, M.D. University of New Mexico; Alana is super excited to be joining the inspiring group at Santa Rosa. Highlights of her pre-Sonoma life include: growing up as a nerdy science kid in Los Alamos, NM, milking cows on a kibbutz during a year off before college, leading backpacking trips and teaching wilderness first aid at Princeton, cycling from Seattle to Boston after college, and advocating for universal healthcare and "pharmfree"policies through her work with AMSA during medical school. Her professional interests include community health with underserved populations, evidence-based medicine, women's health, pediatrics, and sports medicine. She also loves trail running, hiking, cycling, tennis, yoga, telemark skiing, chess, and wine-and-cheese parties!


	Connie Earl, D.O. University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine; After nine years of migrating between Portland, Oregon and Portland, Maine, Connie is ecstatic to be reuniting her husband, Russ, with his childhood home north of the Bay. Connie has worked as a doula, providing labor support and childbirth education to mothers and families; she organized national workshops on leadership, activism in medicine and integrative health care; and believes in the power of community. She is thrilled to be joining the community here in Santa Rosa. Connie's professional passions include holism, reproductive health care, traditional healing modalities, natural childbirth and pregnancy, and addressing health care disparities. To balance her overachiever tendencies, she loves playing outdoors with her brilliant husband, card games and crosswords, cooking, big dinner parties, playing her conga drums poorly and sleeping in with her cat.


	Joseph Eichenseher, M.D. University of Wisconsin; Joseph was raised near the isthmus in Madison, Wisconsin. After career stints as a grocery checker, bus person, corn thinner, collegiate rower, 5th grade teacher (Teach For America in Baltimore), High School math instructor and varsity baseball coach (on the Navajo Nation), he has decided to try his hand at medicine. His interests include empowerment of underserved communities, evidence-based medicine, and working toward international health justice. He has found himself living in such places as Ann Arbor, Champaign, Kuala Lumpur, Spokane, B-more, and Rough Rock, and, after hitchin' up the wagons and heading westward again, he is looking forward to finally being settled in Santa Rosa (... at least for a few years). He enjoys spending time with family and friends, participating in team sports (especially ultimate), exploring, reading good books, gardening, and playing his classical guitar.


	Ann Figurski, D.O. Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University; After growing up in a large family in the Midwest, Ann has been making her way toward the Pacific coast. She studied nutrition at the University of Michigan, where she began to explore her interest in holistic and integrative medicine. While she loves the Arizona sunshine, she is excited to be in northern California where water and greenery abound, two adorable nephews are nearby, and the journey of life continues. Ann loves running, dancing, being outdoors, laughing, practicing yoga, and being with friends and family. She desires to practice full spectrum family medicine including osteopathy and preventative medicine, and hopes to include teaching in her career as well.


	Veronica Jordan M.D. UC Berkeley/UCSF Joint Medical Program; Veronica is excited to be close to her hometown of San Rafael, CA, though coming from the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program, she really hasn't been too far away for the last few years. Except, that is, when she managed to hop a plane to places like Ecuador (she has been back a few times but was originally there as a Peace Corps volunteer with a focus on sexual education and women's autonomous banking); El Salvador (conducting Master's work on early childhood caries), Vietnam (working on her language skills and eating amazing street food), Kenya (where she got engaged to her wonderful Swahili-speaking husband), and most recently, Brazil (doing a research project on HPV).When she isn't away, she enjoys hiking, swimming, baking sweets, and playing some mean scrabble.


	Rebecca Katz, M.D. UCSF; Rebecca Katz was born and raised among the redwoods of coastal northern California, which planted the seeds for her desire to live close to the earth, as well as an appreciation for small town family medicine. She finished out high school in Berlin, Germany, where she enjoyed being exposed to everything from illegal artist colonies to the opera. After a stint on the East Coast at Bryn Mawr College, she was ecstatic to be able to return to her native California for medical school. While in school she became passionate about holistic, integrative medical care from cradle to grave. In addition to involvement with the student homeless clinic, political activism, research in palliative care and ethnographic research in Guatemala, she volunteered doing body work with patients at Zen Hospice, where she met her fiance, Todd. They are excited to live outside of the city where they can soak in the quiet, garden, hike and continue practicing meditation, Qi gong and yoga.


	Jin Kwon, M.D. Tufts University; Born in S. Korea and raised in the suburbs of Boston, Jin's path to Santa Rosa has involved criss-crossing both careers and coasts. After graduating from Wellesley College and teaching stints in Boston and Korea, she found herself pursuing a masters in education at Harvard. Following her heart and dreams of warmer weather, she relocated to the SF Bay Area, where after a job in consulting and some serious soul-searching, decided to transition from a career in education to one in medicine. She returned to Boston (yet again!) for medical school, where she developed a love for international medicine, an awe of obstetrics, and a deep respect for palliative care. During her residency, she hopes to find creative ways to integrate her background in education with her medical training and practice. Outside of the hospital, she is either out on a run, trying to improve on her salsa form, or just out having a good time with friends.


	Nicole Mohlman, M.D. Northwestern University of Feinberg School of Medicine; Nicole was born and raised on a farm very near the geographical center of the United States, touted as a positive energy focus for all citizens of the world. True or not, it was a great place to grow-up, and she can still pitch hay and build fence with the best of them. She went on to attend the University of Kansas in Lawrence, and then straight to Northwestern University of Feinberg School of Medicine. Although the vibrancy and pace of Chicago is magnificent, after four years she is ready to explore the left coast for all it promises, warm weather, people, and places. She loves Family Medicine for its potential in all directions, and is particularly interested in the areas of the underserved and uninsured, rural health, family systems, and women's health. Nicole gets irrationally excited about flowers and plants, and she likes to cook, host, create, jog, bike, and generally be outdoors with the sun on her skin.


	Michele Reynolds, M.D. University of Nevada School of Medicine; Michele grew up in small towns in Arizona, California, and Nevada before moving to the thriving two-street metropolis of Bokoli village in Western Kenya. As a Peace Corps Volunteer there, she worked as an HIV/AIDS educator. She returned home with good memories as well as the physical and emotional scars of Kenyan public transportation. Happy to be starting her career in Santa Rosa, her interests in family medicine include public health, geriatrics, and mental health. In her spare time, she enjoys badly playing tennis and badminton, slowing killing houseplants, baking, hiking, and squandering her time outside.


	Lucia Roncalli, M.D. American University of the Caribbean: Lucia feels like she’s come home again. She grew up in Marin long ago when that meant dairy ranches and the Nike base on Tam, and spent the rest of her life until now being a Californian manqué all over the United States as well as in Central America, the Netherlands Antilles, South Africa, and Ireland. Before going to medical school, she taught comparative spirituality and ethics and worked as an out-of-hospital midwife—usually simultaneously. She always told those who feared she might have a split personality that these were just two aspects of the same thing: theory and practice, as it were. This residency program is the perfect place for her, as her medical passions include integrative medicine, humanitarian work with and on behalf of the world’s most underserved, and the notion that birth, healing and death can be transformative journeys. Non-medical passions include her kids, friends and family, movies, wilderness, scuba diving, spirituality, and open-mouthed wonder at the comedy, poignancy, and sheer astonishment that being alive entails.


	Elise Sullivan, M.D. University of Colorado School of Medicine; Elise Sullivan grew up in Pine, Colorado. She attended Lake Tahoe Community College and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a Peace and Conflict Studies degree. Elise completed her studies at the University of Colorado School Of Medicine; she plans to work in a small town practicing the full scope of family medicine including operative OB. Throughout her education she has worked with people with physical and learning disabilities, underserved and homeless populations and mentored a teenager with sickle-cell disease. Personal interests include skiing, backpacking, rafting, international travel, yoga and meditation.


	Sean Zager, M.D. University of Michigan; Sean completed his undergraduate and medical studies at the University of Michigan. His interest in the science of biomedicine has always coevolved with his love for integrative and international health care. Before his final year of medical school, Sean took one year off to join a rural clinic serving indigenous groups in southern Venezuela. He then traveled to the Peruvian Amazon and Ecuadorian Andes to learn about shamanic healing ritual. Sean has also participated in medical efforts in India, Nepal, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic and in his spare time enjoys running, reading, being outside, and strumming his guitar.

She also enjoys improvisational acting, travel, goat husbandry, and spending time with her husband, Aaron, and son Aidan.


	Alicia Cohen, M.D. Mount Sinai School of Medicine; Long having felt the Northwest calling, Alicia is thrilled to finally be moving to the Left Coast and Santa Rosa. Passionate about women's health, integrative medicine, and working with the underserved, Alicia took the "scenic route" through medical school. She spent a year in Jerusalem working with Israeli and Palestinian survivors of domestic violence, and another two years on a project to reduce disparities in care for women with breast cancer in East and Central Harlem. In her spare time, Alicia can often be found singing, writing music, dancing, cooking, and getting her hands dirty. She is especially looking forward to growing her vegetables in real soil, rather than on a Manhattan fire escape.


	Andrew Cunningham, M.D. Graduate of the University of Louisville; Andy enjoyed his last few years among family and friends back home in the bluegrass state. His decision to pursue medicine came on the heels of a couple great years of post-college exploration, during which time he tasted soymilk for a living, read a lot about Buddhism, and hitch-hiked around Patagonia. With interests in integrative and cross-cultural medicine, he has studied botany, traditional Tibetan medicine, and mind-body modalities during school. A longtime gardener who truly believes nutrition and lifestyle modification are the best medicine, he is thrilled to land in Northern California, where climbing, surfing, photography, and music will keep him active in his free time.


	Annemieke de Lange, M.D. Graduate of Loma Linda University. From trekking in the jungle to climbing glaciers to skydiving, Annemieke is always looking for a new adventure. She also views her professional life as an adventure and is especially passionate about integrative medicine, evidence based nutritional and herbal medicine as well as women’s health. Annemieke plans to practice international medicine in the future and has done training in wilderness/expedition medicine. In addition, she loves to work with athletes of all kinds and enjoys training for triathlons herself, as well as many other outdoor activities.


	Gabriel Flaxman, M.D. Gabriel grew up in northern California and went to UC Berkeley. He left Cal with a degree in History, a love of the Sierra Nevada, and a passion for telemark skiing. He pursued the latter for a year of endless winter before moving to the self proclaimed “Greatest City in America” to complete his postbac studies. After a year back in the western mountains working with the Park Service he migrated east for medical school. He is thrilled to put a hold on transcontinental road trips- for a while, and call Santa Rosa home. Gabriel is interested in palliative care, reading, cooking and being outside whenever possible.


	Rachel Friedman, M.D. Graduate of Yale University: The improbable product of a hippie American nurse and an Israeli rock star, Rachel grew up along the Jersey Shore with a strong belief in serendipity, a passion for both healing and music, and an unlikely yen for hummus and olives. As an undergrad at Harvard she studied the history of science with an emphasis on mind-body medicine, and decided she wanted to be a holistic physician-scientist-healer who could incorporate the best of biomedicine with the wisdom of other medicinal traditions. After spending two years sharing her love of biology and a cappella at a high school in North Carolina, she arrived back in the Northeast for medical school, intent on maintaining her passions for nutrition, integrative medicine, and rewriting song lyrics. Although she’s going to miss her East Coast family and friends and the joys of curling up with a good book in the middle of a snowstorm, she is nevertheless thrilled to be leaving cold winters behind for year-round mountain biking, trail running, and gardening and vegan cooking with her boyfriend Daniel.


	Catherine Hurley, M.D. Graduate of Jefferson Medical College – Catherine (known to friends as Trina) grew up with her three brothers in New Mexico, Colorado, and California’s Sierra Foothills. College lead her to UC Santa Cruz where she majored in physical anthropology, but spent much of her time rowing on the Monterey Bay, being an RA, a nanny, and playing ultimate. After five years in San Francisco, first as a “dot-commer” and then working in the community health system, Trina ditched the West Coast for med school and developed her interests in chronic disease management and women’s health. In her spare time, Trina likes to hike with her husband and dog, practice yoga, cook healthy meals and unhealthy desserts, and spend time with her family.


	Sharon Lin, D.O. Sharon loves observing how people live and being present to hear their stories. She studied Nutrition at UC Davis, Public Health at Columbia, and Osteopathic Medicine at Touro in an effort to inch closer to the art of healing and gather tools to promote holistic wellness. In addition, she delights in the topics of social entrepreneurship, smart urban planning, Oprah, creative resourcefulness, the immigrant experience, political salons, traveling, and community-building/social capital. Sharon is the daughter of a Traditional Chinese Medicine practicing father and an arts and crafts-loving mother, sister of a talented teenager, and is newly married to her college-sweetheart.


	Ele Lozares-Lewis, M.D. Ele worked in cafes and had a catering business in San Francisco in the 1990s, intent on studying film production until her life spiraled out of control, leaving her living out of abandoned warehouses and depending on soup kitchens—but it was there that she discovered her interest in human behavior. Eventually, she and her future husband left the city for Southern California, where they cleaned up, started remodeling kitchens and went back to school. Ele studied neuroscience at UCLA—sure that she was going to have a life in drug addiction research. However, the laboratory proved to be less exciting than the UCLA Mobile Clinic, which served the homeless population of Hollywood. Working with family physicians there inspired her to pursue a career in medicine where she could focus on homeless health care, HIV medicine and addiction medicine on a more personal level than from a lab bench. Ele loves cooking for her family and friends, reading, surfing and playing with her amazing daughter—and has another one on the way!


	Daniel Parker, M.D. Born in central California, Dan grew up in an agricultural area at the heart of the immigration debate. His experiences growing up led him to further Spanish studies during his undergraduate years, and more importantly to yearly medical missions trips in Honduras through his local church. While in Honduras, Dan was overwhelmed with the need of the community and felt compelled to use his gifts where there is greatest need. At Tufts University, Dan received his MPH degree and hopes to combine the power of public health with medicine to effect change at the community level. He also hopes to pursue a sports medicine fellowship. Dan is married to a Hungarian American and is actively trying to learn Hungarian. He and his wife are involved in the local church. He enjoys biking, soccer, rock climbing, hiking, playing board games, and gardening.


	Heidi Reetz, M.D. Graduate of Johns Hopkins; Heidi was born and mostly raised in the rural Dakotas, and then headed slightly east to Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. Feeling her education had only begun, she hitched up with the Peace Corps and went far east, to Chongqing, China—a sometimes delightful city—to teach environmental education at a medical school. After two years of growing steadily envious of her students, Heidi returned to the U.S. to move to Baltimore and study medicine herself. After a few years enjoying the east coast, she is excited to now experience some west coast culture (and weather). Her professional interests include environmental and integrative medicine and development of sustainable health care systems. She also enjoys fiddling, yoga, cooking, other people’s poetry, sewing and most other crafts, and travel.


	Anabel Ruiz, M.D. Graduate of Johns Hopkins University, Anabel was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. For College, Anabel stayed local, attending Stanford University.

	Lindsay Zeichner, M.D. University of Washington, School of Medicine: Growing up in the suburbs of San Francisco Lindsay was always seeking adventure. She worked in her community to feed homebound AIDS patients before taking off for Mexico, where she drove down endless coastline, rescued her first puppy, and developed an appreciation for fresh tortillas. Next she drove north until the sun turned to rain and she settled in Seattle. She studied and drank coffee and hiked in the mountains and became a doctor. Always a seeker of adventure, she traded her rain boots for ice skates and moved to Minneapolis to work in an inner-city community and experience a Minnesota winter. Now that the ice has melted, she is happily moving out west again to soak up some sun and live close to her family. In her professional life she enjoys teaching and caring for patients throughout all phases of life. She is passionate about reproductive health, adolescent medicine, mental health, and end of life care.

She extended med school by two years in order to spend time abroad, staffing medical clinics in East Timor, studying yoga and ayurvedic medicine in India, and working on her Masters thesis in Brazil. Aside from international health and integrative medicine, she loves music, cooking with friends and hiking, and is possibly happiest when learning and speaking other languages. Despite diagnosis (by her parents) with a serious case of wanderlust, she is truly looking forward to settling down in the north bay for the next few years. When not doing any of the above, she generally spends her time wondering why she wasn’t born in the tropics and occasionally stays up till sunrise psytrance dancing in the desert.


	Michelle J. Mertz, M.D. University of Vermont College of Medicine; Raised in Cherry Hill, NJ, Michelle migrated to Madison, WI for college. Six years and many badger games later, she began medical school in Vermont, surrounded by an exceptionally warm community of people. There her sea kayak became her most sacred of study spaces. But a growing fear that years of multiple-choice exams had cramped her thinking style inspired Michelle to live throughout Asia for a year. Creating her own curriculum, she found herself delivering babies in her bare feet in Thailand, performing pelvic exams at 13,000 feet in the Himalayas, befriending Tibetan monks, and exposing herself to much of the history that her textbooks omitted. Michelle returned to complete two years of Ob-GYN residency at Brown. However, her thrill at mastering pelvic surgery became shadowed by the realization that she would not nurture her interests in medical education, integrative practices, environmentally sustainable “green” medicine, and LGBT care. Now also certified in acupuncture, Michelle joins family medicine with the same continued passion for women’s wellness, but eager to explore its limitless boundaries. Michelle is thrilled to move to Sonoma, despite a decade-long commitment to acquiring enough cold weather gear to play outside year-round. Outside of medicine, Michelle wanders through farmers’ markets, attempts to capture the most striking travel photos, paddles, hikes, bikes, cooks, and laughs with friends.

Katie also loved trail running, x-c skiing, and playing pond hockey (poorly) right out her backdoor. She especially enjoyed traveling Latin America, and teaching high school in Kenya. Katie plans to provide care in resource-poor areas locally and globally. While at Santa Rosa, she hopes to ski Tahoe, climb Shasta, practice yoga, host yummy potlucks, and visit her family at New Orleans Jazz Fest. Professional interests include rural medicine, mental health, palliative care, health literacy, and the ultimate trio of health policy, human rights and social justice.


	Kristina S. Sowar, M.D. University of Colorado School of Medicine; Kristina was born and raised in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, but spent much of her youth in a gym, playing competitive basketball. She began college at Yale, but following a series of personal family events, opted to take a leave of absence – which consisted of some serious soul searching, home remodeling, telemark skiing, and experiences with integrative medicine. With a new focus, she completed her undergraduate work at CU Boulder, and stayed on at CU for medical school. While there, she helped found and lead a complementary and alternative medicine student interest group, started a clinical CAM elective, and was elected wellness representative for her class. She was also named to the AOA Honor Society, and awarded for academic achievement and class service. She chose Santa Rosa for the people, its emphasis on humanistic and holistic health care, and natural surrounding beauty; and hopes to pursue an Academic Career focusing on medical education, Integrative Medicine, and student and physician wellness.
