Biography
Why did you choose WIH/Brown OB/GYN?
On my interview day, the warm, supportive culture at Brown was apparent. Everyone seemed like a family - from the residents and their partners, to the midwives and attendings. I knew this was the exact environment that I wanted to train in, and I’m so glad that my gut feeling over Zoom was correct! I feel so fulfilled every single day here and could not imagine a better program for me.

What is your favorite thing to do in Providence and/or Rhode Island?
Taking the short ferry out to beautiful Block Island for a day trip! It's a great place for a bike ride or just to relax on the beaches.

One fun fact about you:
RI is the 8th state I have lived in! I was born in Maine and grew up all the way out west in San Diego, CA.
One piece of advice for candidates:
Please do not hesitate to reach out to current residents during this process. Particularly with the Zoom interviews, I found it helpful to speak candidly (outside of interview day) with residents to hear about their day-to-day life and experiences at their respective programs. We are more than happy to chat with you and answer any questions you may have!
