Hometown: Richmond, Virginia

Undergraduate School: James Madison University

Medical School: Des Moines University

Hobbies/Outside Interests: I enjoy playing with my cats (Kyoshi and Korra), taking nature walks with a good podcast, traveling, cooking/baking, playing video games, and attending Lady Gaga Concerts.

Things you look forward to doing in Charlottesville:  I’m looking forward to trying all the breweries and restaurants, eating lots of Bodo’s, and showing my co-residents the beautiful scenery of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Virginia wine country.

Why did you choose UVA? I love living in Virginia and I wanted to return for residency. UVA offered the strongest clinical training paired with kind and passionate faculty. Charlottesville has plenty of things to do and is located centrally to the beach, the mountains, and DC. The 6 months of anesthesia rotations during intern year was a huge plus as well!

Anesthesiology Interests: I am looking forward to finding my anesthesia niche! Perhaps peds or cardio?

Favorite Rotation: I love learning new things on all my rotations but I am looking forward to rotations that allow me to practice procedures!
