 Undergraduate Degree: University of Kentucky - Bachelor of Science in Biology

Medical School: University of Kentucky College of Medicine

What I like about our program: The exemplary faculty at the University of Louisville, the camaraderie of the residents and their team-oriented approach, and the well-rounded residency curriculum immediately attracted me to the program. The department is well suited to train psychiatrists for practice in a rapidly changing medical environment by incorporating technological advances such as telemedicine and telepsychiatry, and by meeting the specific needs of the community through programs such as EPS.

What I like about Louisville: The city has a unique character and culture. It is a perfect blend of the hospitality of the south and all the amenities of a large metropolitan city. From food, to parks, to the amazing people, Louisville is an eclectic city with something to offer any incoming resident.

Career Goal: I remain open minded in my personal career goals within the specialty and hope to be of service to my program, my community, and my patients.
