Why did you choose Duke for your fellowship training?
I was drawn to the opportunity to train alongside creative, collaborative people who care deeply about improving the health of patients living in Durham/North Carolina and on a broader scale. I knew that training within such a community would help push me to become the best academic clinician I could be.
What excites you about the fellowship program at Duke Obstetrics & Gynecology?
Duke provides a phenomenal opportunity for growth as a clinician and researcher while serving the local patient population. It’s rare to find a place that simultaneously cherishes this commitment to innovation and excellence while also viewing coworkers as family.
What are your career goals?
I plan to stay within academic medicine, focusing on research and helping to build the next generation of inquisitive and compassionate physicians.
What are your hobbies?
Anything related to food, rock climbing/bouldering, running, gardening, hiking
