Why do you want to be a doctor? 

“The role of a doctor is really special because it includes the research and mentally stimulating side as well as the humanism side.  You have to be there for patients on some of their most important days, and the combination of those really drove me to the role of a physician.”

Why did you choose the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU? 

“I liked the small class sizes and how personalized the education is, as well as the focus on Empathetic Scholars®, that was something that was really important to me.”

What’s one thing your classmates don’t know about you?  

“I know how to juggle.  I learned how to juggle in undergrad with one of my friends because we thought it would be a fun hobby. “

What’s next for you in your medical journey? 

“I’m attending pediatric residency at the University of Colorado in Denver.  It was my first choice, so I’m really excited about what the future holds.”
