Start Year: 2023<\/p>\n

Medical School: Medical University of South Carolina<\/p>\n

College\/University: University of South Carolina<\/p>\n

Hometown: Sterling, Virginia<\/p>\n

Clinical and Research Interests<\/span><\/h3>\n

Reconstructive surgery (breast and burn mainly) & Hand surgery<\/p>\n

What were you looking for in a residency program?<\/span><\/h3>\n

A group that enjoyed each other\u2019s company in and out of the hospital along with exposure to the full breadth of plastic surgery.<\/p>\n

What inspired you to become a doctor\/surgeon?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I was inspired to choose a career in plastic surgery after witnessing the care, creativity, and depth of the field when my best friend was involved in an ATV accident, requiring reconstructive surgery.<\/p>\n

Favorite thing about UNC?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The people, a clich\u00e9 answer, but runs through. The mentorship & support from faculty to senior residents has been amazing. It doesn\u2019t hurt to have a renowned basketball team too.<\/p>\n

Favorite Surgery?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tough to say this early but any reconstructive surgery. It’s amazing to see the technical skill & finesse needed to fill these defects.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact<\/span><\/h3>\n

I still hold my high school district record for most charges in a basketball game (7).<\/p>\n

Hobbies<\/span><\/h3>\n

Playing tennis and basketball, watching the USC Gamecocks and New England Patriots play, skiing, and finding the best ranch in the US<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
