Why did you choose Brown?: Genuinely felt at home during my interview experience, despite the virtual format. A truly well-rounded training program with extensive operative and scholarly opportunities. And perhaps, importantly, Providence is close to family.

What do you like about Providence/Rhode Island? Coming from the Burlington, Vermont area I enjoy the size of Providence and its proximity to Boston as well as the many outdoor offerings of Rhode Island. Seven Star’s, Bayberry, Chomp and Blount’s Clam Shack are also excellent eateries. Little Compton is beautiful.

What are your goals for the future? Undecided, though hope to stay in the Northeast.
