Career and Research Goals:

• I hope to learn about the intricacies of gender affirming care and working towards answering many of the unanswered questions within the field.
• I aspire to dedicate my career towards reducing healthcare disparities within the field of endocrinology.

Reasons I chose Duke:

• I had an immediate gut feeling that these were my people after my day of virtual interviews. It was clear that Dr. Crowley, the fellows, and the faculty I met have an immense passion for their field, but beyond that they were also kind, humble, and so welcoming! I found it easy to envision myself learning and flourishing amidst this group. 
• Coming to Duke was my first venture out of the Midwest, and Durham was a perfect way to escape the snow and flatness! There is a wide variety of activities to choose from in the Triangle area and we have close access to both the mountains and beach!
• The wide catchment area of Duke and the Durham VA guarantee a highly diverse patient population, which was something I was specifically looking for in my fellowship training.
