Hometown<\/strong>: West Jefferson, NC<\/h4>\n

Undergraduate<\/strong>: NC State University<\/h4>\n

Medical School<\/strong>: UNC – Chapel Hill<\/h4>\n

What drew you to UNC?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The culture and the people. I was fortunate to spend multiple months rotating within the anesthesiology department during my 4th year of medical school at UNC. All of the faculty members and residents were extremely welcoming, enthusiastic and passionate about teaching. Many of them ultimately became great mentors for me. This supportive environment, combined with top-notch clinical training, made the decision easy.<\/p>\n

What do you love most about the Triangle?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Triangle has something for just about everyone. There are plenty of outdoor activities, concerts, sporting events and no shortage of great food. It\u2019s also really nice to have both the mountains and the beach just a short drive away!<\/p>\n

What are your career aspirations?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I\u2019m currently undecided and excited to explore different subspecialties.<\/p>\n

What is your go-to fun fact?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My family grows Christmas trees.<\/p>\n

If you weren’t an anesthesiologist, what would you be?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
