Hobbies and Interests: I enjoy traveling, the beach, and discovering new coffee shops and restaurants in the area. I'm also a fan of soccer, video games, and just about anything involving the water.
Why I chose this residency/school: I chose EVMS/ODU for the extensive exposure to cases ranging from the typical to the complex and the opportunity to work with highly experienced vascular surgeons. EVMS/ODU will provide me with robust training that will help me build a career as a capable vascular surgeon. It is also a great living minutes from the beach and Atlantic Ocean.
