Personal Interests: Outside of the hospital, I enjoy group exercise, gardening, cooking, reading, and traveling.

Why I Chose Vanderbilt: Vanderbilt is the perfect combination of academic rigor and down-to-earth people. I have excellent mentors who are invested in my career progression and have given me many opportunities on my journey to become a physician-scientist. I also enjoy caring for the diverse patient population we serve. I am constantly learning on the wards and in my research endeavors.
