Fav thing about UAMS Internal Medicine Residency? Good balance of supervision and autonomy, supportive faculty, schedules that allow a work-life balance, and great people to work with!

Fav thing about living in Little Rock or Arkansas? Small and cozy, no traffic, and minutes away from a multitude of outdoor adventures.

What you want to do with your life? Cardiology

What do you do outside of the hospital to relax/have fun? Walk/run, hike, cook, try to keep my tiny balcony garden alive.

If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be? If I could do absolutely anything, I would have loved to host a TLC show about food from around the world (but then again, who wouldn’t!)

Fav show to binge watch? I let Netflix’s suggestions decide my newest binge. Friends, Modern family and Kim’s convenience are some of my all time favorites.

Fun fact about yourself that not a lot of people know? I am a tea enthusiast ☕
