“My journey has been a very long one. Four years of college. Two years of grad school.
Three application cycles to get into medical school. Four years of med school. One year of general surgery residency. Years as an urgent care physician. Finally – a plastic surgery residency.
I’m in my fourth year of a six-year program.”

“I’m pursuing my passion and saving lives. That makes it worth overcoming any obstacle.”

“For me, Anti-Impossible is setting the bar to achieve what others think you can’t do. When I didn’t get into medical school the first time, I used that experience to write a book to help guide pre-med students to getting into medical school. I’ve mentored too. I’ve used my failures to help and uplift other people.”

“I had my vision and was not going to give up. I’m a single mom. 
I was going to do whatever it took because I couldn’t let 
my daughter see me fail.”

“A resident works 80 hours a week on average. We do rotations every month: general surgery, trauma surgery, reconstructive surgery, esthetic surgery. This is a six-year residency and there is no ‘typical day.’ I love the operating room, so it’s worth overcoming any obstacle.”

“I worked and applied for years and years to have this opportunity.
No two days are the same. It makes me happy.”
