Why I chose Pine Rest: I came to Pine Rest for an away rotation (after hearing positive reviews from patients during my 3rd year med school psych rotation). During the rotation I discovered how large of a facility Pine Rest was and how many opportunities there were to work on specialty units with numerous attendings. I was also impressed by the beauty of the campus, the welcoming/approachable staff, and the breadth of support staff/case managers.
Other interests: I really enjoy traveling and the outdoors- hiking, beach days, and hammocking are my go-to’s for relaxation. To keep busy I play volleyball, golf, fish, snowboard, ice skate, and right now I’m learning to play tennis. I also like to wood whittle, rehab small furniture, and any project that involves power tools.
Professional or Clinical Interests: Geriatric Psychiatry!
