What attracted you to Mayo Clinic for fellowship training? Aside from the palm trees and beaches, Mayo was my first choice because of its reputation for leading the way in medicine. I wanted a place that focuses on education and innovation, precisely what I have experienced thus far. Here at Mayo, we are exposed to all aspects of nephrology and mentored by engaging nephrologists who love the field. The work environment is unmatched; our patients come first, and a phenomenal staff supports us. I have felt welcomed and challenged. Everyone in the nephrology department will help you grow individually and professionally, so it's always a good day at Mayo.

What attracted you to Mayo Clinic for fellowship training? I had the opportunity to complete a visiting medical student rotation as well as internal medicine residency here at Mayo Clinic in Florida.

I created lifelong relationships with mentors and friends. Therefore, I am grateful for being able to return to Jacksonville to complete my nephrology fellowship.
