Why did you choose UCLA for Residency?

I chose UCLA for residency because of the diversity, leadership, inclusion, opportunities and split time between county and academics. It is very motivating and a blessing to be surrounded by leaders in medicine at such a great program.

What is your favorite place to visit/thing(s) to do in/memory from living in LA? If you have never lived here before, what are you most excited about?

I am most excited to try out new food, make new friends, explore new trails, and relax on the beach.

What do you do in your free time? What hobbies do you have? 

I love playing chess, reading random science facts, learning about finance, day trading, and playing soccer.
