Reflections on the Duke program

What were you looking for in a fellowship program?
A supportive environment that would expose me to both the basics of PHO and the zebras! I was also looking for a program that had an established global health program so I could explore my interests.

What are the strengths of the Duke program?
Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. You get a great exposure to a variety of cases, both oncology and hematology.

How are you involved in research? What are your research interests?
I’m just getting started with my research years and I’m working on translation research with sickle red cells.

Personal interests

What do you like to do outside of work?
I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, working out, doing yoga, and watching Netflix.
