If I wasn’t a doctor, I would be a…

Filmmaker.
If you could meet one person, living or dead, real or fictional, and have a conversation with them, who would you meet and what would you talk about?

I would probably spend an afternoon sipping some jasmine tea with Uncle Iroh, getting life lessons on not just tea, but also on grief, resilience and strength.
If you could only have three apps on a smartphone, which would you pick?

Maps, Text and the Calculator app.

Why University of South Dakota?

At the University of South Dakota, you don’t just train in pediatrics, you get to do it in a castle. Sanford Children’s looks like something out of a storybook, and that magical vibe carries into the way people treat each other. It’s small enough to feel like family, but big enough to prepare you for anything pediatrics throws your way.
