Why did you choose UA EM?

UA EM is the perfect balance of everything I was looking for in a program - down to earth residents and faculty, a diverse patient population, excellent training, and robust academic/community/pediatrics experiences. After rotating here, it was an easy decision to make!

Favorite activity in Tucson, or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program?

The endless sunshine, because I'm always cold! I love that life in Tucson is easy going - there's no traffic and cost of living is very affordable, while still offering an amazing food scene and beautiful desert hikes.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Go on more adventures, level-up my Spanglish to Spanish, stay active and get stronger, learn to cook more Southeast Asian food like my mom.
