What do you enjoy most about being a medical student at the Whiddon College of Medicine?
The incredible community of students, faculty members, and clinicians! We are so blessed to have wonderful, passionate, and selfless individuals who are eager to make a difference in the lives of others and support one another.

The Summer Research Program allowed me to work with Dr. Heather Fishel in the Department of Internal Medicine, Endocrinology Division, after M1 year where we looked at CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) technology among pregnant diabetic patients. 

I serve as the clinic manager for the Student-Run Free Clinic, and I presented a poster at the National Society of Student-Run Free Clinic conference to highlight our clinic's dedication to diabetes management and treatment.

I also participate in a weekly Bible study with my fellow M3 ladies.

Spending time with Jesus, playing with my cats, savoring a good cup of coffee, exploring new places, and practicing yoga

What is something unique about you?
Trying a local coffee shop in a new city is a must for me.
