Pathologists' Assistant Student

Contact Information:

Hometown:  Durham 

College:  Duke

Career Goals:  I would like to initially work in an academic hospital setting, where there's exposure to a variety of complex surgical specimens, as well as hospital autopsies.  I had a sneak preview of forensic pathology after reading Dr. Judy Melinek's "Working Stiff", I am hoping to explore more during my clinical rotations at the local ME office.  Down the road, I would like to focus on teaching while gaining expertise through practice, peers and conferences.

Hobbies and Interests:  I enjoy exploring the outdoor nature, as well as playing online strategy games indoors.

Why Duke:  Duke is my alma mater, the professors are friendly and helpful.  You don't just come for an education; you build life-long relationships and networks.  Coach K may have retired, but my motto remains "eruditio et basketballio".

Why Durham:  Durham is quiet and peaceful, it's a wonderful place to study without many distractions.  Durham is also my hometown; I enjoy most the greeneries and local hospitality.  Having lived in the big city for fifteen years, returning to Durham is like ordering a pepperoni or cheese pizza; simple, yet satisfying!
