First Year Resident
Start Year
2025
What are your career interests?
Cutaneous oncology, general dermatology, pediatric dermatology, procedural dermatology.
Why did you choose Duke for residency training?
I chose to train at Duke Dermatology due to its strong foundation in both general dermatology and sub-specialty training, opportunity for research and multidisciplinary collaboration, and dedication to serving a diversity of patient populations. More importantly, I knew I would be supported by an incredible network of faculty mentors and a welcoming group of co-residents who will make Durham a city I am glad to call home.
