What do I enjoy doing in my free time: In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, watching TV shows
or movies on Netflix, and trying to cook new things.
What do I like about our residency: Everyone has been very friendly since day one, ranging from my fellow residents,
the attending, and the clinic staff. I also like that our curriculum provides us with
wide variety of experiences to help prepare us for life after residency.
Career Aspirations: I hope to practice medicine in back in rural middle Tennessee, in an area that is
underserved and in need of a family physician.
