What do you enjoy most about being a medical student at the Whiddon College of Medicine?
I feel incredibly supported and encouraged by my classmates and faculty. The small class size means that I’ve had the chance to spend time with everyone in my year. We really are a tight-knit community!
Are you involved in any research, organizations or other initiatives at the College of Medicine?
I am one of several PEER Supporters and the secretary for Christian Medical Ministry of South Alabama (CMMSA). Over the summer, I co-organized the M1 summer orientation (with Naden Kreitz and our wonderful subcommittees of volunteers) for the class of 2026. Additionally, I volunteer in teaching English classes at Dwell Mobile. As for research, I’ve recently joined Dr. Thuy Phung’s project on melanoma and machine learning in the Department of Pathology.

Zumba, walking/hiking, thrift/vintage shopping, playing video games, spoiling my dog
