What drew you to UNC?

First and foremost: the people. Everyone was friendly and welcoming on my interview day, and I’m happy to say that’s remained the case since I’ve started here. There really is a palpable vibe of happiness in the Anesthesiology department and in the hospital as a whole, and I truly enjoy coming in every day to work. I also enjoy nature and being outdoors, and if that’s your thing this is the place to be.

What do you do for fun?

Mountain bike, surf, trail run, and read (primarily Sci-Fi).

What is your favorite thing about UNC or Chapel Hill?

It feels “chill” here. You’re surrounded by nature (woods, lakes, trails, etc.) but also have every possible amenity/shopping/entertainment venue nearby. It’s totally unique.

What are your career aspirations?

I’m still undecided, looking forward to rotating through the various services later on in residency!
