Personal Interests:
Being from the Midwest, I'm loving the beaches in every direction that St. Pete has to offer. So far I've found my favorite places on the beach to grab dinner with an ocean view, paddle board, watch the sunset, go boating and grab a good coffee. I also love exploring all the new restaurants popping up in downtown St. Pete. I feel like the other half of my free time is currently at Ikea or online shopping to make my apartment the perfect cozy home.

I am very interested in a career in general pediatrics. Within that, I am particularly interested in addressing childhood obesity and social determinants of health to help kids be the best they can be.

Personal Interests:
I love spending time with my husband, family and friends and experiencing all of the incredible things that Saint Petersburg has to offer, the gorgeous beaches, boating, fishing, amazing food and of course the beautiful sunsets! I take my dog mom duty very seriously with my two dogs and we are always exploring St. Pete’s very impressive dog-friendly scene. I am also obsessed with watching HGTV and I am really excited to renovate my house.

Clinical Interests:
I am still undecided in this category. I am currently interested in a lot of things like GI, emergency medicine, and possibly critical care. I’m excited to use this year to get to know these specialties a little bit better and hopefully help narrow it down.

Personal Interests:
I’m a Florida girl born and raised so I love anything outdoors in the sun, especially beach volleyball. Lately I’ve taken up an interest in kayaking and pure barre classes. My husband and I love to cook, search for new restaurants, spend time on the beach, or have a good Netflix binge. I’m in the process of trying to convince him we need a dog, but for now I dog-sit and narrate all dog convos I see.

Personal Interests:
No matter where you go in the world, it’s all about the food! I love cooking for myself and anyone who is daring enough to try my food.

Having lived along the coastal line most of my life, I’m proud to say that beach days are an essential part of my week.

I have family all over the world so when I get the opportunity I love to travel and explore new places. Although, when I get the chance I can spend hours doing a puzzle (1000 pieces are the best!).
