Favorite study spot: The library here is amazing, so I use it whenever I can!
How do you get to and from campus? Though I live very close to campus, I still drive.
Any advice to your younger self? Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Focus on serving well wherever your feet are and that will lead you to what’s next.
What surprised you about medical school? I was surprised at how manageable school is. Once you get the right habits and routines in place, it becomes very straightforward, and you can find so much enjoyment in it.
