Life as a resident

Meet our residents and learn about why they chose Mayo Clinic and what life is like for them at work and during their free time.

I couldn't be happier with my co-residents and feel lucky to interact with such incredible teachers every day. Apart from neurology, my hobbies include biking on my electric bicycle, skiing, rollerblading, and going to the beach with friends.

I chose Mayo Clinic for the opportunity to see complex pathology in a collegial environment that values resident education. I suppose the weather and proximity to the beach sweetened the opportunity a little bit! In my free time, you can find me at the beach with friends, baking, traveling, and trying out new restaurants!

I have been impressed at the approachability of everyone here at Mayo Clinic. It’s astonishingly easy for me to reach out to colleagues and it’s clear that the needs of the patient truly do come first.
