Why VCU EM: I chose VCU EM because during my AI everyone made me feel at home. The people were genuine, the environment was supportive, and the fast-paced, hands-on extensive training in a diverse population really drew me in. VCU is unique for its commitment to make us holistic providers all while being mindful of our time, with fair hours and a culture that supports balance and well-being.
Favorite thing to do in RVA: One of my favorite things to do in Richmond is try new restaurants and breweries, there’s always something new popping up. I also love how easy it is to sneak in a hike along the James River trails afterward to reset and unwind.
Best kept RVA secret: Libby Hill Park is one of Richmond’s hidden gems. The view overlooking the city and the river is incredible—especially at sunset—and it’s somehow still quiet and peaceful, even on busy days.
