  • Graduate Medical Resident, Obstetrics & Gynecology

Hometown:  Seattle, WA

Favorite things to do in Pittsburgh: The Thai food is amazing in Pittsburgh! My partner and I love going to Pusadee's Garden for special occasions. We also get ice cream almost every day and frequently go to La Gourmandine (French bakery) - there are so many options :)

Favorite Restaurant:  I want to add “Yi-Fang is my go-to for bubble tea! So happy they finally opened one in Pittsburgh!”

Favorite place for Take-out:  Smiling Banana Leaf is a staple! I also like this new place called Just Roll’d Up - they serve poke and their fish is the freshest I’ve found in Pittsburgh so far.

Favorite rotation so far:  I loved OB night float! I had so much fun delivering babies and learning how to admit complex antepartum patients. I was lucky to have it towards the end of the academic year and felt really excited to apply everything I’d learned from intern year.

Post-Residency Plans:  I’m interested in MFM fellowship! 

What's your favorite thing about Pittsburgh/Magee:  I love the family I’ve found in my co-residents! I also love the learning environment - I’m encouraged every day to grow into a better person and a better physician for my patients. Many of the senior residents and faculty lead by example and I’m inspired by them!
