Why are you pursing a career in ENT?
I love the breadth of the field from bread and butter T&A's to large free flap cases! Additionally, we get to deal with a lot of functional and quality-of-life issues in patients and follow them longitudinally to see significant improvements in their lives. Ultimately, otolaryngologists were some of the happiest and most welcoming attendings I have worked with, and I am thrilled to be joining this community!
Favorite things to do in New Orleans?
I'm excited to continue exploring New Orleans, but I love walking around the Garden District and Magazine Street and trying out new restaurants around the city!
