What excites you about your residency/fellowship at Corewell Health? I'm excited to join a program where I don't just feel like I fit in, I truly feel like I belong. From the very beginning, there was a sense of warmth and authenticity that made me feel at ease. I felt seen not just as a radiology applicant, but as a person. It was clear that this is a place where people care about one another and where residents are supported both as individuals and as physicians in training. I'm looking forward to growing in an environment that feels not only inspiring but like home.

Clinical interests: I'm really drawn to diagnostic radiology because it helps solve puzzles and plays such an important role in patient care. Right now, I'm especially interested in emergency and musculoskeletal imaging, but I'm still exploring all the different areas to see what fits me best. I'm excited to learn from a variety of experiences and people as I figure out where my true passion lies within radiology.

Hobbies: I am very much into art and yoga. I just started playing around with textured art, and it has become my new obsession! I love how messy and creative it can get. Yoga is another thing I do to help me relax and clear my head, especially when things get hectic. Both of these things really help me unwind and feel more like myself.

What excites you about your residency/fellowship at Corewell Health? I am so excited to move to Grand Rapids for residency training! Aside from the activities West Michigan offers, I am looking forward to training at Corewell Health in West Michigan and serving the surrounding community. Corewell's emphasis on patient well-being, diverse learning opportunities, and culture that facilitates my personal growth and development are among the reasons I chose to start my residency experience here.

Clinical interests: I chose to pursue Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) because of its focus on function and quality of life. My clinical interests include pediatric rehabilitation, limb differences, neurorehabilitation, and adaptive sports.

Hobbies: Outside of work, I can be found at the thrift store, reading books and sipping lavender lattes in local coffee shops, or playing on the nearest volleyball and pickleball courts. I'm looking forward to West Michigan beach days and trying new restaurants with my husband while in GR!

What excites you about your residency/fellowship at Corewell Health? Having grown up in Southwest Michigan, I'm excited to return and have the opportunity to provide care in a familiar environment, and nothing beats Michigan weather in the summer.

Clinical interests: As a future radiation oncologist, I am always drawn to the care of cancer patients. Practicing medicine is more than just treating a disease, and in cancer care, we have the opportunity to treat a whole patient, from labs and testing to social support and survivorship. I try to ensure my interest in caring for the whole person is maintained across the various specialties I'll be a part of during my transitional year.

Hobbies: I relax by cooking as often as possible, and playing sports like volleyball with my friends.
