Life Before Medical School:  Before medical school, I worked as an Analytical Research Associate focused on biomedical diagnostic panels, such as blood, respiratory, and COVID diagnostic panels. 

Why Ventura?  When I did a rotation here, everyone was super friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed how cohesive the residents were and how highly they spoke of the program. I felt welcomed and learned a lot in that time, so I wanted to continue that for residency. Ventura itself is a great location with its beaches, proximity to my support system/family/friends, and how close it is to other major SoCal cities!
