Hometown: Garrett, PA
When I study medicine, I most enjoying learning about: embryology and development, preventative medicine, and infectious diseases
Things that make me unique are: my ability to burst into songs from musicals in almost any setting
I’m not only a doctor, I also like to: play the piano, sing, bake, hike, kayak, read, swim, explore new coffee shops, spend time with friends and family, and try new food
To get myself motivated I think of: how hard I’ve already worked to achieve my goals and how that knowledge can positively impact my patients
The hours I spend warm and cozy with a book I’m reading: the Harry Potter series, historical fiction (most recently The Tattooist of Auschwitz)
With popcorn in hand, the movie I’m watching is: Harry Potter, 1917, A Knight’s Tale, The Patriot, Braveheart, Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables, and almost anything Disney releases
Without a DVR on my cable box I’d miss (or I’m in front of the TV so I won’t miss): Vikings, A Million Little Things, For Life, Grey’s Anatomy
On my iPod, iPhone, iMac, iPad, etc. I listen to: Ted talks, music including pop, rock, and anything but country
When friends and family come visit me in Little Rock, I want to take them to: the Arkansas River trail and the River Market
I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and…: the people involved in every aspect of interview day made me feel comfortable, and it felt like a perfect fit! The reputation of the hospital and its commitment to exceptional care speaks for itself!
