What are your interests and hobbies outside of work?
Ice cream with Kyra, Kent, and Caitlyn, taking walks on local trails, baking scones, running, spending time with family, and drinking an ice cold Diet Coke.
What is your clinical area of interest?
There are too many good choices to pick one!
What do you like about training at WMed Surgery?
My co-residents are the most valuable part of the program. We are very close-knit and genuinely enjoy spending time with each other. We work very hard, but we all have a good balance of hobbies outside of the hospital. I also love the faculty at WMed. The faculty are dedicated to teaching residents both in the OR and outside of it, and have a genuine interest in our development as surgeons.
