Polly is originally from Salt Lake City, Utah and attended the University of Utah where she received a BS in Mechanical Engineering. During undergrad she loved being involved in campus through sports, Greek life, and volunteering. After college she spent a year doing research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute before attending the University of Utah for medical school. She is dedicated to mentoring students and her medical school research focused on cancer outcomes and disease relationships. She is thrilled to continue her medical training at UNC where she can pursue her research, focus on improving the lifestyle of her patients, and career interests. Outside of medicine, you can find her out running, biking, in the gym, or playing tennis (she is an exercise enthusiast!) She also loves cooking and baking and spending time with her boyfriend.<\/p>\n
