If you asked five-year-old Beth what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would have answered, “a doctor.” After receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and beginning her career in graphic design, she realized that five-year-old Beth was onto something which sparked her journey in medicine. Beth is a third-year medical student from Des Moines, IA. Currently on an elective rotation in Kampala, Uganda, she is spending two weeks in labor and delivery and two weeks in infectious diseases. When not working on school, her favorites include time with friends, family, and her dog Fiona, design and photography, traveling, canning, and working on the Community Interfaith Worm Project.
