Home Town: Tulsa, Oklahoma
When I study medicine, I most enjoying learning about: A patient’s medical journey. Medical books have taught me the pathophysiology, but patients teach how these diseases have impacted them and what they do on a daily basis to manage and treat them.
Things that make me unique are: I love visiting new places and experiencing new things. I have traveled to 15 countries. I have lived for a month in Spain and a month in Italy.
I’m not only a doctor, I also like to: I enjoy spending my free time outdoors with my husband and two dogs.
To get myself motivated I think of: I think of my family and friends. They are my support system. I owe my success to them because it always takes a village.
The hours I spend warm and cozy with a book I’m reading: Any mysterious novel! I love a novel with an unpredictable ending!
With popcorn in hand the movie I’m watching is: The Harry Potter series or any movie on Disney Plus!
Without a DVR on my cable box I’d miss (or I’m in front of the TV so I won’t miss): College football!
On my iPod, iPhone, iMac, iPad, etc. I listen to: I listen to a variety of music, some of my favorite bands include One Republic, Matchbox Twenty, and the Chainsmokers.
When friends and family come visit me in Little Rock, I want to take them to: I want to take them to all the cool restaurants!
I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and…: The people are genuinely kind, hardworking, and intelligent!
