She is proud to now call herself a Triple Gator as she continues her training at UF Health for residency. When not at work, Dr. Wert spends her free time painting, sketching, wood burning, and cuddling her two cats. She and her partner, Dr. Peter Vonu, graduated together and couples matched at the University of Florida. They are excited to build their professional lives alongside their family in Gainesville.
