WHAT MAKES CENTRAL ARKANSAS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE Central Arkansas is a beautiful part of the country. There are countless indoor and outdoor activities to participate in. Here, the quintessential culture of “southern comfort” is on full display in just about every aspect of life, from the delicious food to the easy going and friendly nature of the people who live here. I have been proud to call this place my home, and I am pleased to be raising my family here as well.

WHY I LOVE BAPTIST HEALTH-UAMS INTERNAL MEDICINE PROGRAM This is a wonderful place to train because the faculty are heavily invested in both our personal and professional successes. They feel as though this program is their legacy, and they take their approach to teaching very seriously. In addition, the culture among the residents is second to none. I have been in few situations where there is as much diversity and camaraderie in one place.

FUTURE PLANS My plan is to provide hospital and emergency medicine services to rural and underserved areas in Arkansas.

THE ONE THING I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT ME I love God, my family, my friends, and my country.
