When I study medicine, I most enjoying learning about: the pediatric patient presentation and how we can treat in a multidisciplinary way.
Things that make me unique are: I have been to all seven continents and I lived overseas growing up. I have an orange cat named Garfield. I have a special interest in working with Spanish speaking patients.
I’m not only a doctor, I also like to: hike, loom-knit, paint, bake, travel, hang out with family and friends
To get myself motivated I think of: the patients I am privileged to take care of and how this can directly impact their care.

I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and…: even across the virtual interview, I felt that the people were very kind and really cared. The residents seemed happy and there is a lot of great hands-on experience and patient volume as well as research.
