Why LAGMC/USC: The patient population and the stories they bring motivate me in the direction of personal and professional growth. LAC USC Med Peds Residency Program has the most compassionate, caring, loving and humble residents, staff, and folks that I have ever come across. It feels like I can come to them with anything. They are what makes this program home. The city of LA itself is vibrant and inviting, with many fun things to do on your off time.

Pronouns:
Hometown: Bethesda, Maryland
Undergrad:
Medical School: University of Rochester
Why LAGMC/USC: I really loved my interview day and all the residents and faculty I met. I got the sense that serving the underserved was more than just a mission statement at this program, and that faculty and residents are dedicated to actively creating a system that better serves their patients than the current one, both through community health work and advocacy
