What do you enjoy most about being a medical student at the Whiddon College of Medicine?
The Whiddon College of Medicine's administration, professors and students go out of their way to make sure we are taken care of as we learn and grow. They all invest so much of their time and energy into us to make sure we are prepared for taking care of patients, while also giving us amazing support and encouragement to make sure we are also taking care of our own mental and physical health. The professors look out for us, and my classmates look out for one another, and that has been so important in helping me grow as a person and as a future doctor.
Are you involved in any research, organizations or other initiatives at the Whiddon College of Medicine?
I've been involved with research through the Summer Research Program, specifically with Dr. Caleb Butts and the other trauma surgeons at University Hospital. They looked at it as a way to get us involved with their projects, but it was also a way to shadow them and see what they do every day and explore a field of medicine that I was interested in. It was an awesome experience!
What are your interests and hobbies?
Crocheting, video games, coffee drinking
What is something unique about you?
One of my goals in life is to have a miniature Highland cow. They're so fluffy and cute!
