So incredibly thankful for my community of family, friends, and mentors who supported me through this process and kept me uplifted and sane while I counted down to today!
Elated and over the moon to share that I matched into Surg Onc fellowship at @MDAndersonNews #FellowMatch
I’m applying for the position of RAS ACS Secretary. I would love your support. Ballots were sent to individual emails. Voting ends at midnight!

Glad to report, I passed!! I’m officially a board certified general surgeon! 🥳🥹
Hi all! Ecstatic for the opportunity to give back to @AcademicSurgery. Please consider supporting me in either the Education, DEI, or Technology and Communications Committees where my passions/prior experiences intersect. #ElectMyAAS

Month 3 of fellowship recap/tips:
-Fellowship is amazing! It’s both equally challenging & rewarding.
-Take lots of notes, esp in the OR (helps build your pref cards).
-Cliche, but read as much as possible (incl landmark trials & new studies).
-Enjoy the process (& the views)!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Dr. Samantha Garza. In honor of Sam's life, we invite you to donate in her memory to fund brain tumor research. Thank you to everyone who supported Sam throughout her battle. We love you forever, Sam.

In 48 hours, general surgery residency will come to an end. In the end, it all worked out (even better than I could’ve imagined). Thankful for my community of family, friends, & mentors. Special thanks to Dr. Susanne Warner for delivering a heartwarming toast!
