Favorite things about residency at CHoR:
All of our senior residents, co-interns, fellows, attendings, and other healthcare members are all amazing and so nice! It’s a great and supportive environment to work in. The children’s hospital is also beautiful!

Favorite things to do and eat in Richmond / Hobbies:
I really enjoy exploring new restaurants and going out to eat with my co-residents! I’m on the hunt for my new favorite boba shop!

Fun fact about me:
I love to bake! My favorite things to bake are layered cakes and I like to decorate them as fancy as possible. I also make a stellar chocolate chip cookie!
