Had the pleasure of presenting a robotic MV repair after failed TEER at @AATSHQ Mitral Conclave. Hard to believe it’s almost 4 years since I cold-emailed @pannvar and asked if he could help me become a cardiac surgeon. Can’t overstate the importance of mentorship!

I know the months between match and residency are supposed to be the best of your life but with no money, no family assistance, and no job that wants you because you’d have to leave as soon as you’re trained is extremely disappointing. How do people cover these moving costs?

Beyond thrilled to announce that I will be heading to DR residency with @RadsUcsf after my intern year with the @MSKCancerCenter Transitional Year Program! Can't wait to train at both of these amazing institutions. #MatchDay2023 @UCSFimaging

Could not have asked for a better experience giving my first presentation at a conference. #SRM2023

Not to mention getting to see my grandmother for the first time since her recovery from COVID and THREE hip surgeries. Thank you New Orleans!

People either knew what we were immediately or we had to explain our costume and unlock a very deep childhood memory. Nothing in-between.

A tale of two lightings Had a blast presenting at UAB’s ENRICH week, highlighting work in curriculum development. Got to talk about passion projects in robotic surgical training and medical device R&D. Grateful to have @cooleyabigailm helping me hold down the fort as always

Dad calls every day to wish me luck on “Leap 2”. Don’t have the heart to correct him again and I honestly just love the encouragement

I might have to do it she’s pretty convincing
After watching the Mr. Rogers documentary, I can't stop thinking about how we can apply his philosophy to pediatrics. We set the tone for someone's relationship to healthcare their entire lives! We have the opportunity not only to educate and build our patients' confidence(1/2)

There's so much distrust and fear of the healthcare system. I don't think doctors have ever had to work so hard to be listened to. Human-human connections are a powerful tool to combat misinformation and doubt. We need to establish a pattern of reliability from the beginning.
