Are you in a special track or focus during your residency?
I plan to pursue an obstetrics fellowship after residency and become an FM-OB!
Why did you choose UPMC Shadyside Family Medicine Residency Program? Why Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh is home! Shadyside is where I went to college and lived during that time. Choosing this program allowed me to obtain an amazing medical education while serving my home community.
What are your goals while here in the residency program? How will this prepare you to be an excellent physician?
My greatest goal in residency is to become a well-rounded provider. Shadyside will give me exposure to Children’s Hospital, Magee Women’s Hospital, and many other areas of practice. I have a wide variety of interests such as addiction medicine, women’s health, mental health, and community medicine and Shadyside is a place where I can become competent in these areas!
Do you have any specials interests outside of the residency?
I love my two rescue dogs! I also enjoy archery, crocheting, playing the ukulele, and traveling to national parks.
