Wow! I matched into #neurosurgery at @BrownNSGY! This has been a long journey from a Big Ten undergrad (Go Bucks!) to an HBCU med school (H-U!) to the Ivy League for residency. I’m super excited to see where the road ahead takes me. Thank you to my village that got me here 💜

Today was my last day of med school. 4 years gone in the blink of an eye! I scrubbed 212 neurosurgical cases, served as President of HUCM’s AANS chapter, published multiple papers and made junior AOA. Wouldn’t trade my experience for anything! #Neurosurgery #MedTwitter

@DamirezFossett Has been a part of my journey from the very beginning. I owe him my entire foundation in neurosurgery: shadowing, research, journal club, conferences…everything! I am forever grateful for his mentorship and guidance!
