I’m absolutely buzzing about matching into otolaryngology! I truly could not have made it to this moment without the massive village of family, friends, mentors and sponsors behind me. I cannot wait for the next part!

On Monday, I didn’t receive the news I had anticipated and was completely devastated. I worked tirelessly this week to secure an unfilled spot and am ecstatic to have accepted the OB/GYN preliminary position at Montefiore 🙏🏾 #SOAP2025 #Match2025 I will be an OB/GYN 🥹

Over 15,000 people die from head & neck cancer (HNC) each year. This study by Dr. Kahmke, Dr. Osazuwa-Peters, & @medicallymel found that more HNC patients prefer to die at home or in hospice care, with variations based on region & urban/rural status go.nature.com/4fa4yhc
Happy to share that another paper of mine has been published! Check out our work on regional differences in hospice use/place of death amongst HNC patients here: nature.com/articles/s44276-0…

Today is National Physician Suicide Awareness Day.
- More than 400 physicians die by suicide each year in the US.
- Suicide is the leading cause of death among resident physicians.
- Med students are three times more likely to die by suicide than their peers in other fields.
Hi #MedTwitter! I’m very excited to be applying into #Otolaryngology this #Match2025!
My interests include peds/otology, disparities in head and neck cancer, and improving diversity in ENT!
I love to watch reality tv and read romance novels! Can’t wait to connect this year 😊
