Biography
Hometown: Clifton Park, NY
Undergraduate: Ithaca College
Medical School: SUNY Upstate Medical School
Why did you choose Brown?
I loved seeing the camaraderie among the residents on interview day and that was a huge draw for me for this program. I'm also interested in pediatric surgery, so I knew I wanted to go to a program that had a fellowship so I could see the process firsthand.
What are your favorite things about Providence and RI?
The beaches! Growing up in upstate NY I never had easy access to the beach, so it's been so nice to be able to just go when I have a day off.
Plans for the future?
I'll be spending the next 2 years in the lab. After residency, I'm planning to go into pediatric surgery.
