Favorite things about residency at CHoR:
What I value most about being a resident at CHoR is the deep commitment to compassionate care and child advocacy, with the opportunity to serve a diverse, primarily underserved urban population—all while learning alongside accessible, supportive, and empowering faculty.

Favorite things to do in Richmond:
I love exploring Richmond's many trails and parks, especially hiking the Buttermilk Trail or walking along the James River. For special occasions (or really any excuse), I head to Stella's—Greek food done right

Believe it or not:
I once competed in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) and had the incredible honor of presenting my project at the White House to former President Barack Obama.
