Hometown: Rumson, NJ

Undergraduate Institution: University of Notre Dame

What TV show would you want to be cast in?: New Girl, so I can be friends with the roomies

Hometown: Highland Park, NJ 

Undergraduate Institution: Salem State University 

Medical School: Robert Wood Johnson Medical School 

Why RWJMS?: I wanted an academically rigorous program that was also supportive of their residents and prioritized their wellbeing as well as their education. Contraception and abortion training is also very important to me, so I was looking for a program that provided dedicated family planning training. As a medical student at RWJMS, I got to see how positive the culture and training environment was firsthand, and knew I wanted to stay here for residency. Additionally, as a RYAN program, RWJMS offers exceptional dedicated abortion and contraceptive training.
