When did you know you wanted to be a physician? Pretty much as long as I can remember!

What is your favorite memory from medical school? My favorite memory was probably finding out that I had been accepted to Loma Linda for medical school. I was in Nicaragua for the semester without access to a phone because we had been isolated during a week of jungle survival. We had just come out of our isolation when I got a call on the group’s satellite phone from admissions telling me that they had been trying to get ahold of me, and that I had been accepted. The feeling was amazing!

What do you like most about practicing medicine? All of the people I get to meet and care for!

What attracted you to work at Schneck Medical Center? It was definitely the happy group of people I will be working with and the relaxed atmosphere!
