WHAT ARE YOUR FURTURE PLANS?

After I finish my residency, I’m considering pursuing a fellowship, but I haven’t decided which one yet. My eventual goal is to practice as a psychiatrist in Arkansas. I also very much want to someday adopt a golden retriever!

ONE FUN FACT OR SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

One of my favorite painters is Alexander Dzigurski, an artist who primarily painted seascapes. His works combine two of my favorite things: artwork and the ocean.

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER BEEN GIVEN?

Dreams remain dreams unless you take action.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES/ WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN?

My favorite thing to do with my free time is read science fiction and fantasy novels. Some of my favorites are Good Omens, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and the Six of Crows series. Some of my other hobbies are writing, painting, and playing volleyball.

LAST GREATEST TELEVISION BINGE WATCH?

I tend to switch between several different shows at once. Lately, I’ve been bingeing the Good Place, the Witcher, and the Harley Quinn TV show.

TELL US ABOUT ONE THING ON YOUR BUCKET LIST

The biggest thing on my bucket list is to travel. There are so many places I want to visit, but some of my top ones are Greece (specifically Santorini and Athens), South Korea (specifically Seoul, Busan, and Daegu), Japan, and Italy (specifically Venice, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast).
