Why did you choose dermatology? I chose dermatology because it combines everything I love about medicine: continuity of care, the ability to care for patients of all ages, procedures, and lots of interesting pathology. I very much view dermatology as a primary care specialty, and it’s such a privilege to provide these resources to our patients!

🌟 Plans after residency: Moving to Chicago for pediatric dermatology fellowship at Northwestern

🌟 Favorite memory from residency:  AAD San Diego last year. I got to spend more time with my coresidents, we got to explore the city, go to the beach and many fun dinners.

🌟 What I’ll miss the most about Jackson/UMMC:  My coresidents! I will also miss continuity clinic at Grants Ferry on Fridays. We had a fun group of residents, nurses and attendings! My family and I will definitely miss the food in Jackson, especially Aladdin and Green Ghost Tacos.

🌟 First thing I’ll do after the boards are over: Enjoy some ice cream and watch a movie!

Happy Match Day! We are so excited to welcome four new residents and future dermatologists! Welcome to the UMMC Dermatology family! 💙
