Hobbies/Interests: dancing, sleeping, binging a gross amount of love island (UK > US), surfing petfinder and convincing myself I can adopt 4 cats at a time, buying healthy groceries but still eating chips for dinner, stress snacking, coloring, treetop adventure parks, spending hours on tiktok, fighting for social equity and justice.
Why Stony Brook? Residency is mentally, emotionally, and physically challenging. So I made it a priority to train at a program that genuinely cares for my well-being. Unfortunately, it's hard to figure out which program is right for you through virtual interviews. However, when I interviewed at Stony Brook it was clear that residents/faculty built a system of camaraderie and truly enjoyed working with each other. 3 months into intern year, I can definitely say I feel well supported even at times when I feel lost or "stupid". Academically, I want to pursue fellowship and Stony Brook provides approachable subspeciality mentors, research, and elective time to expose yourself to whichever field your heart desires.
