Favorite things about residency at CHoR:
All of my co-residents and the attendings I’ve worked with have been so friendly and patient with me as I navigate my new role as an intern. It’s also a great experience getting to work in the brand new Children’s Tower. The facilities and resources available allow us to provide the best pediatric care to our community!

Favorite things to do and eat in Richmond / Hobbies:
I live near Bryan Park, and love walking my dog or riding my bike through the trails there, playing pickleball and tennis on their courts, and going to the RVA big market on Saturday mornings! My favorite restaurant so far is Gersi - any of their handmade pasta dishes are amazing. I have a big sweet tooth and the best ice cream I’ve had in Richmond is at Scoop!

Fun fact about me:
I’ve been to two out of four of the professional tennis “Grand Slam” tournaments - Wimbledon in London and the US Open in New York. My goal is to make it to the other two, which include the French Open in Paris and the Australian Open in Melbourne!
