About
I am a huge Survivor fan. I also love watching football. Outside of that, I value spending time with my family and friends. I also love to travel.
Why I Chose Peoria
Peoria was my number one choice! I loved my interview here, and the city reminds me a lot of my hometown. The city has a little bit of everything I need to be happy with excellent surgical training.
How has your residency program helped you grow toward your career goals?
I've always been supported by this residency. If I set a goal and shared that with leadership I was provided resource and assistance in achieving it 100%.
