What do you like about nephrology?
I love that nephrology impacts the whole body. It is complicated but I have learned so much in this area and continue to learn more each day. Each day is a different experience, so it never gets dull. You continually challenge yourself. I also get to know my patients very well, especially dialysis patients that I may see several times per week. This helps build relationships and communication.
Why Little Rock?
I am originally from southern Arkansas. Little Rock, and specifically UAMS, is the best place for me to grow and accomplish my professional goals and aspirations.
