Favorite things about residency at CHoR:
My co-residents are one of my favorite things about this program. I am grateful to the seniors who have been so supportive during the beginning of my residency. I am excited to work alongside my amazing co-interns who have made the transition to residency enjoyable and are always ready to explore places in Richmond!

Favorite things to do and eat in Richmond / Hobbies:
I love walking through the gardens at Maymont and spending time at Belle Isle or Texas Beach on a nice day. There are too many great restaurants in Richmond to name them all, but some of my favorites include Secret Sandwich Society, My Noodle & Bar, Greek on Cary, Peter Chang, and Edo’s Squid. For dessert, the fresh fruit cake at Shindigyz is my favorite!

Fun fact about me:
I love traveling and have visited 25 countries.
