Had a great time this last week getting to know SIU Medicine alum Dr. Lou Graham and his wife Jen. Learned a lot about PM&R, neuro rehab, and pain medicine! And of course the great dinner was a plus 😊

As an M2 in the trenches studying for Step 1, it’s so fun and motivating seeing all the M4s matching and getting excited for Friday!

Figured I can use this space to talk about the things I do in my (minimal) free time :) I got really into thrifting furniture and flipping it so here’s a video of my most recent flip 😊

Arrived in Salt Lake City for #SRCD23 today!! Picked up my badge along with a few ribbons from the ribbon wall 😊
