Why did you choose Brown?

I was looking for a program that provided residents with enough autonomy to be challenged, but also a supportive culture that facilitated learning and growth. I wasn't sure what I wanted to specialize in while going through the match process so I also wanted a program that would prepare me for whatever path I chose. Brown has a great track record of producing surgeons who are successful in all specialties and all types of practice. Most importantly, I felt like the residents really enjoyed spending time together and I wanted to be part of that!

What are your favorite things about Providence and RI?

I enjoy the easy access to a variety of parks, trails, and beaches in Providence and RI. Some of my current favorites include: Lincoln Woods, the East Bay bike path, Blackstone boulevard running path, and Napatree Point conservation area. 

Plan for the future?

Fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery.
