Biography
Hometown: Greenville, SC
About Me: I really enjoy traveling and discovering new places (favorite adventure so far was in Tokyo after I finished college), visiting my family in South Carolina, and exploring my new city of Milwaukee! I am a dog enthusiast and love learning about the nuances of each breed, and I’m hoping to rescue a dog of my own later this year! I love to be creative; I do a lot of cross-stitching and embroidery in my spare time, and I’m learning how to sew (hoping to get my scrub cap manufacturing business off of the ground here soon). I love skincare and doing manicures and have already enjoyed having the uro gals over for girls’ night!
Why I Chose ¶¶زُ¶جتسئµ: Even though it was over Zoom, my interview was so relaxed and felt completely natural. The residents and faculty were incredibly warm and welcoming. Now, after working here for some time, I really love the people I work with! Everyone (faculty and staff alike) is incredibly kind and prioritizes resident education. Residents here are both colleagues and friends. We all look out for each other, do our best to share the workload, and try our best to get everybody home on time. I am so thrilled to be here and can’t wait to see what the next few years hold.
Favorite Part of Milwaukee: Milwaukee has all of the benefits/amenities of a big city, but it is so accessible; you can get pretty much anywhere in 20 minutes or less, and the traffic is quite manageable. I love going down to Lake Michigan and taking in the beautiful views. It’s also worth mentioning that the people who live here are so friendly and kind! I cannot wait to experience all that this city has to offer over the next four years!
