🤔 Interesting fact about yourself: Traveled to 31 countries so far, everyone go see the penguins in Cape Town or have a street taco in Oaxaca

💕 Favorite memory from residency: Catching up with friends over coffee at French Truck Coffee and tailgating at LSU on a fall Saturday. Hanging out in the trauma bay or CC1 waiting for the incoming patient.

🤓 His advice for incoming residents: Always challenge yourself to be better with every shift. Try all the different ways to do things during residency while you have an attending to be a safety net. Learning doesn't stop when you finish residency. Keep reading, always keep reading.
