I am originally from France. I have called Florida home for the past 8 years after attending Duke University for my Bachelor of Science in Biology, and University of Central Florida for medical school. I am very excited to be the chief resident for the 22-23 academic year. My favorite things about our program are the fantastic residents, the beautiful location, and the variety of hospitalist experiences. I am applying to become a pediatric hospitalist with the goal of working in academic medicine. Outside of the hospital, I have two cats (Basil and Saffron), love to eat (as you can see by my cats' names!), hit the beach, and swim in the ocean. 

I’m so excited to be one of the Chief Residents this year! I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA (Go Penguins!) and took a snowy detour up north where I studied Public Health at the University of Rochester, and then attended medical school at LECOM in Erie, PA. I am a proud AmeriCorps alumni after serving 2 years with the Pittsburgh Health Corps. I enjoy reading, running and biking, and I'm down for pretty much anything outdoors that doesn't involve getting eaten by a Florida gator. I'm also a huge foodie- I love cooking and exploring the food and brewery scenes. I will be applying to fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology this year to serve children and teenagers with hormone problems, as well as the transgender community. I live in Tampa with my partner and enormous and lovable Great Dane, Huey, who loves to hang out at the coolest dog-friendly Tampa spots with friends!

Hi! I was born a Cajun baby in New Orleans and grew up in the suburbs of Chicago on deep dish pizza and the Cubs. I attended Creighton University in Omaha, NE for college where I majored in medical anthropology. From there, I went to Kansas City University in Missouri where I completed the DO/MBA dual degree program in conjunction with Rockhurst University. I met my now husband on the first day of medical school orientation, and together we moved to Fort Myers, FL for our clerkship rotations. We have thoroughly enjoyed being in Florida and are looking forward to the next several years here. In my spare time, I like to cook, travel, try new foods and restaurants (my husband and I are self-proclaimed “foodies”), and go shelling at the beach. My professional interests are general pediatrics and healthcare leadership. The USF pediatric residency was the perfect combination of everything I could have ever hoped for in a program, and I cannot wait to be a part of this incredible team!

I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. I attended the Hallym University College of Medicine in South Korea for the six-year MD course.

In the late spring of 2019, I visited USF Pediatrics as an observer and was very fortunate to work with so amazing people as a team. My professional interests include Hematology-Oncology and Public Health, and I hope to pursue my career in academia later on. I love drinking coffee, cooking, traveling, and having fun time with my family and friends. It’s still unbelievable to join USF Peds for my residency and my wife and I are really looking forward to living in our new home, Tampa!

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and have lived there my whole life. I did a bachelors and master’s degree in Biology both from the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus. After my masters, I worked in research for a few years before reigniting my desire to become a doctor. I completed my medical degree at the University of Puerto Rico, School of Medicine, where I learned from doctors in my community and worked mainly with patients belonging to the underserved population. For residency, I am ready for a change in scenery! I am excited to join the USF Pediatrics Family and begin the next chapter of my life! For fun, I’m pretty laid back, like binge watching Netflix, cooking shows (though I wish I could be as good!). Though I can’t do a handstand to save my life, I love watching gymnastics, from NCAA to elite competitions and in between. I can’t wait to explore the city that will become my home for the next three years and continue on my journey to become a pediatrician.
