Get To Know This Resident

Why did you choose the obstetrics and gynecology residency program at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV?
With UNLV being my home program, I was able to see firsthand just how strong the training is. Additionally, serving the patient population in Las Vegas is a passion of mine. We have a very diverse community, and given the shortage of doctors in Nevada, they are often underserved.

What are your interests within obstetrics and gynecology?
I plan to be a generalist, so I enjoy many aspects of OB-GYN. I particularly enjoy sexual health and robotic surgery.

What is your favorite thing to do in Las Vegas?
I love to explore all of the amazing restaurants and bars that Vegas has to offer! The food is absolutely amazing.

What is one fun fact about you?
I love wine, so my husband and I decided to become certified sommeliers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What is one piece of advice you would give to candidates interested in the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program?
