Why U of A College of Medicine – Phoenix: I had such a blast working with such passionate and encouraging faculty and all the residents were so welcoming during my med-peds rotation fourth-year.

Undergraduate: Arizona State University
Medical School: University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix
Residency: University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix Internal Medicine/Pediatrics

Why U of A College of Medicine – Phoenix: I have lived in Arizona my whole life, and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the community that raised me. I feel lucky to have been selected by the College of Medicine – Phoenix.
