Why Ventura? After being away for medical school in Las Vegas, I was really excited to move back to California and be closer to family and friends. Nothing beats the California sunshine and beaches! During my interview, the residents and attending physicians were very welcoming and I was able to get a sense of the culture and camaraderie between everyone. Lastly, I’m very passionate about resident wellness and the people at Community Memorial provide the perfect environment for learning and growing as a physician.
