Fav thing about the UAMS Internal Medicine Residency? By far knowing the residents as people 🙂

Fav thing about living in Little Rock or Arkansas?  Spending time outdoors and living at a more relaxed pace

What do you do outside of the hospital to relax/have fun? Ride bikes, hike, and splash puddles with my four year old

If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be? A book editor

Fav show to binge-watch? Fixer Upper or anything on Netflix with a conspiracy

Fun fact about yourself that not a lot of people know? I diagnosed my own chickenpox when I was 12 … actually that’s not fun at all, but it’s true!

Anything else you want the world/future applicants to know about yourself or the program? Always ask WHY! You cannot possibly learn all the medical facts during residency, but you can learn how to think critically and where to find the right answers. When things don’t fit, or seem out of place, always ask WHY.
