REFLECTIONS ON THE DUKE PROGRAM
What were you looking for in a residency program?
I was looking for a supportive community that could help me achieve both my personal and professional goals as a physician. I have always wanted to go into pediatric pulmonology, so I was looking for a school with a strong pulmonary department, but I also wanted to see lots of general pediatrics as well. I wanted to be in a strong academic environment that felt like a family, and I found that at Duke!
What do you want to get involved in at Duke that particularly interests you?
I am excited to get involved in teaching and outreach programs, specifically with a focus on minority women in medicine!
What's best about living in Durham and the Triangle?
I am so excited to try out the new food scene and also get to be part of a big college sports environment!
MORE ABOUT THE RESIDENT
What do you like to do outside of work?
I love running, music, gardening and art! I also write food reviews for fun, so you can always find me trying out new local restaurants or cafes.
What is something interesting/surprising about you?
I hugged Taylor Swift back in her early days during a Fearless concert.
