What drew you to UNC?

UNC is known for great training, and the triangle is a beautiful place to live. However, my interview day is what sold me. Everyone was welcoming, encouraging, and seemed to genuinely enjoy their job and UNC. Now that I’m here, I find this attitude extends beyond the anesthesia department which makes every rotation a wonderful experience.

What do you love most about the Triangle?

Commuting between Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh is extremely easy, so we have access to three unique cities, each with a different scene. Plus all the nature to explore in between!

What are your career aspirations?

I haven’t made a decision on a specific fellowship, but my goal is to work in an academic hospital.

What is your go-to fun fact?

I lived on a boat during my undergraduate years.

If you weren’t an anesthesiologist, what would you be?

The owner of a plant nursery.
