The UNMC 2024 Match Day celebration was held at the Scott Conference Center at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where eight out of 140 medical students at UNMC opened their envelopes and found they had matched to the UNMC Department of Anesthesiology.
Why did you choose the medical field?
All I remember is wanting to be just like my pediatrician when I was a first grader. After that, there wasn’t another field of work that enticed me as much as medicine or a subject I enjoyed as much as science. I also realized that one of my passions was caring for and raising up others.
What made you choose anesthesiology?
I wanted to do everything from orthopedic surgery to hospital medicine during medical school, and I found anesthesiology to be a mix of everything I enjoyed. I get to apply the pathophysiology I love in the quick-paced environment of the best room in a hospital, the OR. And all the people are wonderful!!
List 3 accomplishments you are proud of:
- Being the first in my family to go through medical school.
- The friendships and mentorships I have formed throughout medical school.
- Matching into anesthesiology!!
Three things about you that others may not know:
- Since last May, I have read 60+ books. I have lots of recommendations!
- I love to bake and think I have almost mastered my version of a monster cookie.
- In college, I spent a summer studying abroad and was able to visit seven countries in Europe.
