Why did you choose Family Medicine?
I was born to physician parents and raised in an environment where they ran a private hospital, so I felt the clinical practice of Family Medicine to be quite similar to what I had experienced in my home country. Because it allows me to work as a team with patients to find solutions to their concerns, Family Medicine is the field I’ve chosen to specialize on. The diversity of Family Medicine, which encompasses everything from maternity health to pediatric care to office procedures, was another major appeal for me.
Why did you choose the Little Rock Family Medicine residency program?
During my interview, I had excellent interactions with both faculty and residents. Given my interest in women’s health and procedures, there are several avenues I may pursue in further depth during my residency. After my virtual interview day, I went to Little Rock to check out UAMS and was blown away by the facilities and learning opportunities available to grow professionally. The UAMS Family Medicine residency program jumped to the top of my list for potential training place as I drove home that day.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of medicine?
I love spending time with my family that includes my fur baby. Fashion designing has been my passion and a hobby for a very long time, and I’ve worked on many personal projects for close friends and family members. I enjoy exploring my culinary skills and entertain friends with my home cooked food. In addition, swimming and watching thriller or comedy TV shows are my go to free time activities.
