Why did you choose the University of Kentucky?

I really enjoyed my time in Lexington during my interview and felt a genuine sense of camaraderie between the residents on interview day. It was also evident to me that the faculty took great pride in teaching and mentoring throughout our conversations. I was looking for a program that would provide excellent surgical training that would prepare its residents for a career in general otolaryngology or fellowship, as well as a tight-knit group to train with, and am fortunate to have found both in Lexington!

What are your hobbies?

When I’m not at the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, working out, reading about my Catholic faith, watching movies, playing cards/board games, playing basketball and golfing, and watching my favorite sports teams, especially the University of North Dakota and Boston Celtics. I’m excited to try out the local restaurant scene (open to any and every suggestion) and dive into Kentucky Wildcat sports!
