What advice would you give incoming residents?
I would tell incoming residents that we have a very diverse group of attending in many ways. The most important of which, to me anyway, is the diversity of subspecialties within neurology that are covered by our attendings allowing for residents the opportunity to explore many facets of neurology. I believe this is one of the many assets of the program of which incoming residents should take advantage.

What originally attracted you to the LSU Child/Adult Neurology program?
I believe the opportunity to explore many varieties of neurology subspecialties was a significant draw for me when choosing LSU Neurology. Being a local, I was also very familiar with the area and was eager to be able to service my home community.
