    Interests & Hobbies

    I love spending time outdoors, learning and experiencing new cultures and food, and getting lost in a good book.

    Why Utah?

    On interview day, I felt welcomed by all the residents and faculty members. It felt more like a friendly chat than a formal interview. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there, and after joining, I quickly realized why. The program offers exposure to a wide variety of patients and settings and values maintaining a healthy work-life balance. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, which is something I truly appreciate. Waking up to the majestic mountains surrounding SLC not only brings me joy but also reminds me a little bit of home.
