Why I chose Kent Hospital:
When considering residency programs, I knew I wanted to be in the Northeast and a place with convenient access to major airports. As I explored different options, this program immediately stood out to me the most. I liked how the residents were from a variety of backgrounds and regions. On interview day everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the program a place where could truly see myself thriving.
What are your hobbies and interests:
I grow tomatoes, habanero, and jalapeno peppers at home. I also make handmade soap -a hobby I picked up during COVID when store shelves were often empty. I have a miniature pinscher named Pierre, and we love going on hikes and meeting new friends at the dog park. In my downtime, I enjoy playing VR table tennis on my Meta Quest 3.
