Resident Bio
I moved to Washington, D.C. from the San Francisco Bay Area for undergrad. While I miss the easy access to rolling hills and beaches, I have loved taking advantage of uniquely D.C. international events as well as the D.C. food and cocktail scene. I chose to stay at GW after medical school because of the wonderful mentorship I received from faculty as a student as well as the supportive relationship between the residents.
