What are your particular clinical interests?

My passion is full spectrum Family Medicine. I love seeing patients of all ages and getting to do different procedures in clinic.

Why did you choose Family Medicine?

I chose Family Medicine because it fits who I am as a physician. I value building long-term relationships and being a consistent presence in my patients’ lives. I’m drawn to the ability to care for patients across the entire lifespan—from newborns to end-of-life. The field’s flexibility and opportunities for continued training support my commitment to lifelong learning and growth.

Why did you choose the Little Rock Family Medicine residency program?

I loved the program for its diversity, robust didactic curriculum, and ample opportunity for exposure to different specialties. Everyone from residents to faculty were warm and welcoming when I came for my interview. In addition, Arkansas is a beautiful state with plenty of natural scenery.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of medicine?

I love to listen to podcasts, spend time with family, and go for walks in nature.
