Residency

Why did you choose Wash U for residency?
The people! Went to medical school at WashU and loved the program, very inspired by the residents and attendings I worked with on my rotations. Also, the location — born & raised in STL, so amazing to be able to do a residency with my family close by and in a city I love.

What are you looking forward to the most by being a resident here at WashU?
Being able to give back to the community where I was born & raised.

What are your career goals/interests?
To become an OBGYN… still deciding..

Currently have any fellowship plans for after residency?
Not sure, still deciding
