Why did you pick UAB?
I picked UAB because I wished to train at an operatively strong program with a culture dedicated to advancing the standard of patient care in neurosurgery. In addition, I wished to be close to my family in Georgia.
What are you most excited about in completing the residency program?
I'm excited to learn from the high operative volume and great teaching faculty here at UAB.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I love cooking and trying new restaurants. In addition, I'm into fitness, coffee-making, and reading when I have the time. I recently tried the Pepper Place farmer's market, and it was awesome!
