Undergraduate: Calvin College, in Grand Rapids MI

Medical School: Michigan State University College of Human Medicine

Residency: University of Cincinnati Medical Center

After completing medical school in Michigan, Brea was the most excited to cross into enemy territory for residency in Cincinnati. Her interests are largely TBD. CF? Maybe. General Pulm? Maybe. COPD and lung cancer? Also maybe. Just call her the jack-of-all trades.

When asked why UC: I loved the collegiality at UC during residency, and the people here really are the best, especially in the MICU. I knew from residency that I would see a wide breadth of pathology and see really sick patients.

In her free time Brea likes to watch Netflix, hang out with her husband and their children (aka her 2 dogs and 1 cat). She also volunteers at Cincinnati Animal Care where she fosters dogs, and gets to walk/snuggle all of them 🙂
