Residents

Medical School: Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport    
Undergraduate: Louisiana State University

As repeated as it is along the interview trail, it truly was the people that brought me here. Everyone from the residents to the faculty were so welcoming and had so much pride in this program that it was truly contagious. I knew that everyone in the program would be invested to help me become the best physician I could be. Besides the people, the emergency medicine residency program offers a great hybrid education between community and academic emergency medicine that allows me to keep an open mind about my future career throughout residency.

When I am not at work, you can find me taking a long walk with my fiancé and dog, cooking/baking, working out, or binging any season of Below Deck
