What do you enjoy about living in Madison?

My fiancé and I love the green spaces of Madison! There are innumerable parks and walking/biking trails that make it easy to get outside. We also love the variety of local events, including outdoor music events and the farmer’s market. There’s always something fun and interesting going on in Madison!

Why did you select the University of Wisconsin Dermatology Residency for your training?

During my away rotation, I was instantly drawn to the sense of community in the program. I saw how tight-knit and kind everyone was in the residency and department. I realized that this was where I wanted to train!
