I joined Marion Health for the unique opportunity to serve a rural community, an experience that allows me to address a wide range of healthcare needs, build meaningful patient relationships, and continue growing as a clinician. The warm reception I received during my second look, particularly from the program director and faculty, further affirmed my decision.

After residency, I plan to practice as a primary care physician in an underserved area, delivering care tailored to the specific needs of the community and supporting long-term health and well-being.
