Hey! I’m from Cookeville, TN. I attended UTK for undergrad (go vols!) and LMU-DCOM for medical school. I’m excited to be in Chattanooga and apart of this program. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family/significant other, hiking, kayaking, and pretty much anything outdoors that I can bring my dog to.

Medical School: University of Mississippi School of Medicine

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in a small town on the coast of Mississippi.  I attended Samford university for undergrad where I met my wife and the University of Mississippi School of medicine for medical school. This city such a great place to raise a family as my wife and I have experience with our two sons and this program fosters not only my professional skills, but also is very receptive to my family. During my spare time, I love hiking with my family, going to Atlanta Braves games, and spending time at our church.

Medical School: University of Kentucky School of Medicine

Hi! I was born and raised in Paducah, KY. I attended Union University where I studied cell and molecular biology and met my husband, Jordan.  We moved back to Jordan’s hometown Dickson, TN for a few years where I worked in research at Vanderbilt, before starting medical school at the Bowling Green campus of University of Kentucky College of Medicine. Because of the small size of my med school class, we loved the relationships we were able to form with my classmates and their families. This was something that really drew us to the UT Chattanooga program- it seemed like the residents genuinely liked being together and supporting each other. Plus, Chattanooga is BEAUTIFUL.  On days off, I like to go for Jeep rides, explore all the hiking Chatt has to offer, spend time with our rescue dog Ike, and try new recipes.

Hi! I grew up in Soddy Daisy, TN. I attended UTC for undergrad and LMU-DCOM for medical school. I am so glad to be back in my home town for residency and have the opportunity to serve in the community that raised me! Chattanooga has everything I want in a city: beautiful mountain views, rivers, and a nice downtown area. During my spare time, I enjoy reading fantasy fiction, drawing, and hanging out with family and friends!

Medical School: St. George's University School of Medicine

Hello! I was born and raised in California. I attended Dominican University of CA for undergrad and St. George's University for medical school. My husband and I have always talked about wanting to raise our kids in Tennessee, so I was absolutely ecstatic to match here in Chattanooga! The program here is fantastic and has so much to offer. In my spare time I love baking with my two daughters and spending time with my family exploring all there is to do in Chattanooga!

PL-3 Resident
Medical School: University of Kentucky School of Medicine

Hi everyone! I am originally from Pikeville, KY, a small town in Eastern Kentucky. I went to Morehead State University for my undergraduate studies and went to medical school at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine- Rural Physician Leadership Program in Morehead, KY. Some of my family had moved to Chattanooga a few years prior to my starting residency, and my husband and I immediately fell in love with the area when we visited. We are so happy to be a part of this wonderful community. Outside of residency, I love to read a good romance, watch Marvel movies with my husband, and the beach is my favorite place in the world. I look forward to spending the next three years serving this community.
