Q&A

  • What are your clinical areas of interest?

    Outpatient medicine with underserved communities. I am interested in pursuing a fellowship, potentially in Geriatrics or Infectious Diseases.

  • What is a fun fact about yourself?

    A fun fact about me is that I had a black dog with a little white spot on his chest—he always looked like he was wearing a tuxedo.

  • What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

    I love classic video games and still play them from time to time. I also enjoy running and try to do it whenever I have the energy.

  • What attracted you to Augusta Health?

    I was drawn to this program because of its patient population, its role as a community-based hospital, and especially its staff, since my interview and second look, they truly made me feel at home.

  • What do you like about Virginia?

    I really love the scenery and the food! I’ve found so many Latin restaurants here, and they make me feel at home.
