Undergraduate: Northern Arizona University Graduate: Purdue University Medical School: UA College of Medicine – Phoenix Why Arizona and UA College of Medicine – Phoenix: I was extremely impressed by the culture and camaraderie at BUMCP. Having done the majority of my medical school rotations at Banner, I was confident I would receive outstanding training and mentorship during my residency. As an Arizona native, born and raised in the Valley of the Sun, there’s truly no place like home!

I chose this program for many reasons, not least of which is the people. The faculty, staff, and residents are all amazing people that I knew would make my four years a fantastic experience. I also have family in the area and my fiance and I chose to forgo moving back to the wintery North East, opting to spend a few more years in the sun!
