I’m the oldest of four children and come from a large, close-knit family that loves the outdoors and all things water-related. I was first drawn to the GRMC Family Medicine Residency Program after reading the biographies of our attendings—I felt an immediate connection, as my goals and dreams aligned with the very heartbeat of the program. Being offered the opportunity to become part of this team has truly been a gift from God. To be trained in a way that equips me to give back is an extraordinary blessing for which I am incredibly grateful. More than anything, I hope others see Jesus in me as I strive to become the best Family Physician I can be. I’m so thankful and excited for this new season!
