What I love most about New Orleans?

This city is complex, colorful and exuberant. There is an undercurrent of community, resilience and spirit that make it unlike any city in America. I love the sense of abundance, from the lush greenery, overgrown oaks and vibrant sunsets to the seafood that boils over and celebrations that commandeer the streets.

What I love most about Tulane’s Psychiatry Program?

My fellow co-residents continually inspire me; they are smart, well-rounded, genuine people who are fun to hang out with and who care deeply about their causes. They push me to be better, to learn more and to ask questions and challenge the status quo (when needed!!).

Feel free to ask/email me about...

Where to find tacos and dim sum or if you need veggie or flower seeds for your garden!.
