Medical School: University of South Carolina SOM - Greenville
Residency Class: CA-3 (class of 2023)
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
#WhyIChoseUAB: I chose UAB due to the unparalleled clinical experience we obtain with a gradual (yet quick) level of autonomy. That sense of ownership in training coupled with the camaraderie amongst residents and attendings throughout the department was unlike anywhere else. 
Fun Fact: The one (and only) time I received anesthesia was for a small outpatient procedure on my wrist and I had to go back to the ED the same day to get stitches in my face after I fell at home from still being drowsy after the anesthetic lol
Favorite part of UAB: Moonlighting opportunities (OR, ICU, Critical Care Transport) 💵💰
Favorite rotation and why: Highlands Regional - Team breakfast at the physician lounge is a staple 
Favorite spots for a date night: Automatic for the seafood, Gianmarcos for Italian 
Favorite places to take guests: Avondale Brewing - a great spot for drinking beer with an outdoor concert venue 
Best park, trail, or golf course/Where I take in the scenic views: Oak Mountain is an > 900 acre park with scenic hiking, road/mountain biking, and swimming. Also, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail has 2 impressive public golf courses residents routinely play together 🏌🏽⛳️
What I’ll miss the most about UAB/Birmingham: The food and the people
Plans for after graduation: Joining a private practice in Charlotte, NC
