Why Ventura? I rotated at Community Memorial during my fourth year of medical school and fell in love with the program. The community here is like a family, everyone is so welcoming and always willing to help each other out. The program places a heavy emphasis on resident well-being, which allows for an excellent learning environment. The attending physicians and the rest of the hospital staff are incredibly supportive and amazing to work with. Overall, I am so excited to spend my next few years in the beautiful beach town of Ventura!

Next Adventure: Next on my bucket list may be exploring Iceland or hiking the Swiss Alps! I am also working towards obtaining my pilot’s license, and hope to one day publish an album!
