Memphis, Tennessee, United States
I am a current MD Candidate at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Prior to medical school, I graduated magna cum laude with my MBA from the University of Notre Dame. My decision to pursue an MBA prior to medical school stemmed from my passion for improving coordination of care in the healthcare system. I realized this passion as an NCAA Division I student-athlete on the cross country/track & field teams at the University of Georgia, where I received tremendous interdisciplinary care to support my athletic goals. I hope to provide that same level of care for my future patients.
