Clinical and research interests
I'm currently exploring a variety of clinical interests, but as of now I am interested in all of ENT. My research interests include medical education, clinical trials, and health care disparities research.
What were you looking for in a residency program?
I was looking for a program that would support my research interests while offering broad clinical exposure across all of otolaryngology. I wanted to be part of a team that feels like a second family and to learn from faculty who are genuinely excited to teach and to have me there.
What advice do you have for incoming interns?
It takes a couple of weeks to adjust when you're starting out, that's totally normal, and you'll get the hang of it. Ask lots of questions: every other resident has been in your position before, and they understand completely, as long as you're willing to improve a little every day.
What do you like most about living in Durham and the Triangle?
Coming from Washington State, I definitely feel like Durham is one of the best places I could have ended up at. I enjoy the sunny weather, scenery, and the ability to be able to drive anywhere at any time with almost no traffic. I feel like there is plenty to do around town, and there are great restaurants all within a 15 minute drive.
