Undergraduate: California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
Dental School: New York University
Personal Interests: Anything that involves sunshine and being outdoors! Also cooking, listening to music, and going to the gym.
Why Arizona and U of A College of Medicine – Phoenix: The most important factor for me when deciding on a residency program was the interpersonal relationships between the residents, a supportive culture and a strong team dynamic. You’ll be working hard in whatever residency program you match into, but you might as well have fun while you’re at it! We have fabulous residents and attendings, great weather, plus tons of experience on trauma call and in the OR. I’m constantly surprised at how happy I am here, and how much I look forward to coming into work the next day, even as an intern. I am incredibly grateful I matched at this program and wouldn’t change my experience here for the world.
