Why did you choose WVU?  During my interview season, I wanted to find a residency program where I would not only receive great training, but also where I would be surrounded by great people. I could tell in my interview with WVU that the faculty really facilitated a positive learning environment and that there was a supportive culture among the residents. WVU offers a well-rounded training experience, not only as a level 1 trauma center, but with their community sites and Children’s Hospital as well. I can see a wide variety of pathologies within multiple patient populations, which I believe is preparing me to be a well-rounded, competent physician. Also, West Virginia is just a beautiful place to live. Between the lake, the hiking trails, the mountain landscape, and many other things I have yet to explore - I have really enjoyed my time living here!

Brief bio:  I was born in Cincinnati, OH, but grew up just across the river in Northern Kentucky. I am the youngest of five, with one older brother and three older sisters. I now have 9 nieces and nephews who I love to spend time with whenever I can. I attended Eastern Kentucky University for my undergraduate degree where I majored in Biomedical Sciences. I then went back home for medical school and attended the University of Kentucky College of Medicine – NKY campus. My first real exposure to Emergency Medicine was during my third year clerkship in medical school. I really enjoyed the fast pace environment and teamwork oriented nature of the Emergency Department, and that’s when I realized it was the perfect fit. Outside of medicine, I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends, reading, watching movies, and exploring all that Morgantown has to offer!
