Medical School
University of Oklahoma College of Medicine – Tulsa
Future Advanced Program
Radiation Oncology, University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson
Where are you from? Sand Springs, OklahomaWhy did you choose NW Transitional Year Residency?
Dr. Williams really sold me to the program. With my future training in radiation oncology, she assured me that I would be in good hands to both form a strong medical foundation but also form great connections in the Tucson radiation oncology community to take with me to my advanced residency program with the University of Arizona-Tucson.
What are your professional interests within Medicine?
I hope to ultimately teach in academia while treating CNS cancers and potentially pediatric cancers in radiation oncology.
What are your interests or hobbies outside of Medicine?
My primary hobby is playing music, whether that’s guitar, drums, singing, or providing live sound for bands. In addition, I love road bicycling and am excited to get into mountain biking and explore the mountains surrounding Tucson. Finally, I love working on cars in my free time and hope to continue helping new friends/family in the Tucson community as time allows.
What are you most excited about for life in Tucson?
Speaking of Tucson, outside of digging into the Hispanic culture, enjoying authentic Mexican food, and hopefully learning Spanish over the next five years, I’m super excited to explore the mountains. Coming from Oklahoma, I was always hours away from significant hiking, so it’ll be nice to be so close to such terrain.
Favorite way to spend a day off?
Playing guitar, working out, reading, and getting some sun.
Top item on your “Bucket list”?
