About
I enjoy working out, running, deep sea fishing, and watching football.
Why I Chose Peoria
I chose UICOMP because of the people. During my interview and second look, I really felt welcomed and supported and I wanted to be a part of this amazing culture. The free food was also a major plus.
How has your residency program helped you grow toward your career goals?
The exposure to such complex cases has allowed me to grow exponentially as a clinician and diagnostician.
