Where are you from?
Detroit, MI
Why did you choose UA Family Medicine?
I chose UA Family Medicine for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted to have more exposure to Spanish speaking and underserved patients. Second, everyone I met during my interview and second look was super friendly and supportive which left a great impression on me. Third, the 2+2 curriculum sounded really appealing, especially with how busy residency can be.
What are you most excited about for life in Tucson?
Food! I’ve heard great things about the food scene in Tucson so I am excited to try out a bunch of restaurants. Another thing I’m looking forward to doing is going on hikes! There aren’t that many hiking or nature trails near Detroit, so I’m hyped to explore nature around Tucson.
What are your interests or hobbies outside of Medicine?
Big Michigan Football fan and enjoy college football in general. I’ve been to almost every home Michigan football game in the last ten years. Go Blue! Additionally, I also enjoy weightlifting, running, trying different restaurants and playing video games.
What are your professional interests within Medicine?
Not sure at the moment, but I am currently thinking about doing outpatient with some urgent care work after residency.
Favorite way to spend a day off?
Hanging out with friends, going on a hike, watching sports, playing video games, or trying out a new restaurant.
