Hometown: Raleigh, N.C.

College: East Carolina University

Career Goals: I would like to work in both surgical and autopsy pathology settings, so I can experience every fascinating case possible.

Why Duke:  Duke offers a unique experience with its smaller class size integrated with the medical school. This tight knit community is seen across the students, residents, pathologists’ assistants, and MDs. Everyone treats you as an equal and can't wait to teach you everything there is to know about the wonderful field of Pathology.

Why Durham: Being born and raised in North Raleigh, Durham is my second home. The atmosphere is always lively, and the city always has something new to experience.
