Professional Interests: Ambulatory Care
What attracted you to UVM Medical Center: UVM Medical Center had not only an ambulatory care focus with many elective options to explore, but it also included opportunities for blocked and longitudinal rotations to develop multiple skillsets. When I interviewed with the program, I felt like I clicked with those interviewing me. They made me feel excited about all that I could both learn from them and share with them. I went into the ranking process knowing that I could have a highly customized and well-supported residency experience here.
What do you love most about VT: I love how much there is to explore! There are so many mountains to hike, restaurants and breweries to sample, shops to explore, and experiences to try (like Lake Champlain cruises). I also love how close it is to other states and major cities, making small weekend trips accessible.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time: In my free time, I love to read, play volleyball, spend time on the water (kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming), hike, binge tv shows, explore local restaurants and shops, travel, and meet new people.
