Why Ventura? I was fortunate enough to do my 3rd-year clinical rotations at Community Memorial, where I discovered a passion for general surgery and fell in love with the Community Memorial family! I am excited to learn from amazing attendings and residents while also being close to my family. Ventura is also beautiful all year round, from the coastline to the hills. Ventura is a hidden gem!

Next Adventure: Intern year and all of the hikes around Ventura!

Medical interests: Minimally Invasive Surgery, trauma, but still open-minded and excited for new experiences!
