Why I Chose UCI/CHOC: I chose UC Irvine not only for its location in sunny SoCal, but also because of the people I interacted with throughout my interview day. There was a genuine sentiment of camaraderie among residents and attending physicians, and the program leadership was both warm and welcoming!

Fun Facts: Growing up, I wanted to be a dolphin trainer. This was definitely a short-lived passion, considering I've never been a very strong swimmer *sigh*
