Callie grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. She graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor of Science in biomedical sciences. In undergrad, she taught eighth graders through AmeriCorps; through this experience, she became interested in education. Her family moved to Houston, Texas a few years ago, and she stayed for medical school at UT Houston. After participating in the Case Files Student Editorial Board and STEP 1 mentor program at McGovern Medical School, she now sees academic medicine as a part of her future career and hopes to continue working closely with students. She chose pediatrics because of the emphasis on education, working with families, and preventive medicine.

In her free time, she likes to take walks with her twin sister, practice calligraphy, and try new restaurants with family and friends.
