Home Town: Adams, NY
When I study medicine, I most enjoying learning about: how interconnected each body system is! Whether it be a psychiatric, cardiac, respiratory condition…ect, it truly impacts the whole body!
Things that make me unique are: my unrelenting optimism! Also that I have lived in New York State my entire life and have never been to New York City.
I’m not only a doctor, I also like to: find new adventures to go on with my dog; we love going on walks, hiking, and especially trying new dog-friendly restaurant patios!
To get myself motivated I think of: where I started and how far I have come in my medical career! When I’m tired or overwhelmed I always like to remind myself that these are the moments I dreamed of while I was a pre-med student!
Favorites
Books: Does Pathoma or FirstAid count??? As far as fun books, I really enjoyed The Shack and Mountains Beyond Mountains!
Movies: Outside of anything Disney; Rom-Coms like Sweet Home Alabama, and Hallmark Christmas movies are my guilty pleasure!
TV Show: Hart of Dixie, Shameless, The Crown, Outlander
Music: Anything I can sing along to!
I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and…: it has the close-knit feel of a small town with all of the opportunities of a larger program!
