Residents | Neurology Residency

Hiking, long-distance running, reading, environment advocacy, public health literacy

My personal and professional goals aligned perfectly with the team at MaineHealth, the faculty were extremely supportive of their residents, and the program possessed the breadth of clinical and research experiences I sought. Portland's vibrant small-town feel, exceptional seafood and farm-to-table restaurants, and proximity to the largest undeveloped forested area in the US (read fresh food, clean air) made MaineHealth my top choice.

I would like to explore the remote hiking trails in Maine, and to contribute to our rural community.

I chose MMC for its excellent medical education, its incredible people, and its commitment to community service. I have always had a passion for community involvement and service. During my interviews, I saw my values reflected in MMC.

My partner and I fell in love with Maine during weekend trips while I was in medical school in Connecticut. Portland's outdoor recreation and food scene were big draws for us, but it was really the people that were the biggest factor. Every person I interacted with during my interview day was so friendly and welcoming I knew Maine would be an excellent fit.

During my interview, it was clear that MaineHealth Maine Medical Center fosters a tight-knit and supportive community for their residents, and everyone truly cares about your career as a physician as well as your personal life. Portland Maine is the best of both worlds when it comes to a city, small enough to have a smalltown vibe, while also having access to an abundance of restaurants, stores, and culture. Lastly, Maine is a gorgeous state that experiences all 4 seasons, and gives me the opportunity to indulge my passion for nature via close proximity to the mountains, ocean, and lakes.

Before medical school and during my undergrad at USF, I worked as a Pharmacy Technician, gaining exposure to lots of commonly prescribed outpatient medications as well as the innerworkings of insurance and our healthcare system. When I wasn't studying or working, I volunteered for an animal rescue, fostering cats/kittens and helping them get adopted!

My goal is to be a kind and hard-working physician so that every patient is confident that they are in the best hands possible. After graduation, I hope to be able to support my dream of starting an animal rescue with my partner.
