My wife and I vacationed in New Orleans several times during training and fell in love with the architecture and the culture of the city. Ochsner has a lot to offer in terms of interesting cases, rare pathology and the fellowship program does a great job preparing you for practice with your own panel of patients, pump clinics, dedicated thyroid ultrasounds and endocrine subspecialty clinics as well.

Growing up in the Northeast I always enjoyed the city life and all that it entails such as the diversity, food, endless activities, embracing different cultures, and meeting new people. These experiences had an impact on my life and made me the person I am today. New Orleans has a big presence with a unique culture and truly makes me feel at home. Being in medicine allowed me the opportunity to meet and connect with people while forming strong interpersonal relationships. In my spare time I enjoy exploring/traveling, learning about different cultures, listening to music, going to museums, walks in parks, acquiring new hobbies, and trying out the latest restaurants. I look forward to my New Orleans journey where I get to fully embrace the city, the people and all it has to offer. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Ochsner family where I will grow as a physician and not only build strong connections but give back to the community by providing optimal health care.
