Why did you choose Brown:

The program stood out to me after a virtual meet & greet event, because it was extremely well organized and the attendings and residents brought such an enthusiastic, passionate, and professional spirit to the event. Afterwards, all I could think of was that I wanted to be part of their team.

Favorite things about Providence and RI:

I am still exploring, but I love the beaches, seafood, and small characteristic harbors. I hope to get the opportunity to go sailing soon.

Plans for the future:

Successfully complete residency in general surgery and look for a fellowship in surgical oncology.
