I’m absolutely buzzing about matching into otolaryngology! I truly could not have made it to this moment without the massive village of family, friends, mentors and sponsors behind me. I cannot wait for the next part!

Yesterday, a bill to “Ban DEI in Medicine” was introduced into the United States Congress. I created a short video about the harms that this bill would have.
DEI initiatives aren’t just about admissions. It’s about reaching out to communities that have been overlooked.
