Why UR Medicine? UR Medicine is the only place that gave me the feeling that I could be somewhere that would help me develop professionally and personally in a place with unlimited opportunities, but still be able to have the community hospital feeling that I wanted to be in.
What is your favorite thing about living in Rochester so far or something you are looking forward to trying in Rochester? I went to the U of R for undergrad but didn't have a car, so even though I've lived in Rochester for 4 years, I don't really know the area at all. I'm looking forward to finding all the best places to eat and hang out.
Personal interests/fun facts: I love reading and playing video games when I have the time to do it. I am also planning on getting a cat!
Personal catchphrase: "Every problem is an opportunity".
