Contact Information:
Hometown: Lynchburg, VA
College: University of Virginia
Career Goals: Eventually, I could see myself working in a hospital with a biorepository and playing a role in educating/career counseling. I'll possibly look for a job out West after graduation to quench my thirst for adventure (sorry mom).
Hobbies and Interests: Anything involving the outdoors and physical activity (rock climbing, hiking, pickleball, spikeball, yoga, etc), reading, going to concerts, trying new foods.
Why Duke: The Duke faculty and students made me feel at home during the interview phase and I felt confident that they would prepare me well for the future. It is also a plus that the rotations are all in/within reach of Durham along with the program's small class size. I grew up in a household that was not very fond of Duke basketball (Coach K era), so you can imagine the ruckus when I told them I wanted to go to Duke!
