Why did you choose a career in pathology? What do you appreciate about pathology?

Everybody finds pathology from a different path. I came from academia and pathology seems the best specialty that can bridge science and medicine, so it was just a natural path for me to choose pathology when I was making my way to return to clinical practice. 

What do you like most about the LSU pathology residency program? What are your favorite rotations?

We have well-balanced rotations that ensure adequate time for reading, conducting research, or resting. The program is committed to residents' career development and quality of life. My current favorite rotation is in surgical pathology, which has never felt overwhelming because we work as a team and support each other.

What would you like to pursue after you finish residency?

I would prefer to join a small private practice in my hometown of San Diego, where my family lives.
