Why you chose Kent Hospital: Having grown up on the south coast of Massachusetts, I have spent a lot of time throughout the years visiting and exploring all that Rhode Island has to offer. While searching for residency programs, I knew I wanted to be a part of a program that allowed me to be close to family and friends and begin giving back to the communities that have had such a great impact on who I am today. After spending much of my 3rd and 4th years of medical school at Kent Hospital, it became clear that I truly felt at home while at Kent. I have been fortunate to be immersed in the supportive nature of this program and to experience the strong bonds that the interns and residents share. I am honored to work in this familial environment and be a resident at Kent Hospital
What are your hobbies and interests: I love gardening and tending to my countless house plants. I also enjoy traveling, graphic design, cooking, and baking. Most importantly, though, I enjoy spending as much time as possible with family, friends, and, of course, my cat!
