Hometown: Union, Kentucky Pharmacy School: University of Cincinnati, James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy Professional Interests: I plan to pursue a PGY-2 in an area of interest, such as internal medicine, ambulatory care, or oncology. Within my chosen area, my goal is to provide care to optimize health outcomes. Eventually, I hope to become a preceptor and give back as a mentor, as I have been fortunate to receive excellent mentorship throughout my career. Personal Interests: I enjoy anything that keeps me active, as I have a hard time sitting still. Recently, I joined a COED soccer league! I also enjoy running, working out, and outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, and snowboarding! I’m a fan of the Bengals and like attending games. I also love traveling, spending time with friends, and cooking! Why TCH? The preceptors at TCH made a lasting impression on me during my rotation. They were happy, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyed having learners, and I felt we connected well. TCH fosters a supportive environment that encourages learning and mentorship for residents. It offers the perfect combination of an academic and community hospital setting, with the opportunity to collaborate with other medical residents and learn alongside them. Advice for Students Interested in Pursuing a Residency: Keep an open mind! Take advantage of opportunities that come your way and say “yes” on rotations. Get to know your preceptors and residents, learn about their career journeys, as many have taken paths different from where they started and can offer valuable perspectives. They are a great resource for reviewing your CV, letter of intent, and providing career advice. Seek multiple sets of eyes for your application materials. Most importantly, try to avoid comparing yourself to others, focus on putting your best foot forward!
