Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Resident

Biography

Hometown: Charleston, SC

Undergraduate School/Degree: University of South Carolina, Exercise Science

Medical School: USC School of Medicine Greenville

Hobbies: Hanging out with my amazing co-residents and significant other (who is an anesthesia intern here)! This includes lots of eating, breweries, festivals, pickleball, workout classes, hiking, and lakefront and trail runs

Why MCW?: A close-knit community with a strong med-peds presence who mentors, encourages, and supports each other so that we may become our best selves! In typical med-peds fashion, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do so I was looking for a robust academic environment that had limitless opportunities, a diverse patient population, a stand-alone children’s hospital, and the flexibility to allow me to pursue a variety of interests. Moving far away from home, I was also looking for a program that felt like family. I’m so grateful that MCW has more than fulfilled these goals and many more!

Favorite Milwaukee Places: Lake Michigan (lakefront runs, picnics, beach volleyball, kayaking), tons of parks and beer gardens, Oak Leaf Trail, Lakefront Brewery (trivia and cheese curds), Kettle Moraine State Park (hiking and cross-country skiing)
