I moved to Little Rock in 2014 with the thought that I would return to Louisiana after my four-year residency program in dermatology at UAMS. Now as a dermatologist at Gibson Guthrie Dermatology, I could not be happier with the decision I made to make a permanent professional and family life here in Little Rock.
Easy answer – my patients and my staff. The thing I love most about dermatology is I see all ages. I get to meet and take care of the whole family!
Don’t wait for someone to tell you it’s okay to do something, just do it! This applies to so many facets in our life, and I think of this often.
My first job was as a gymnastics coach. It taught me discipline and determination. It also taught me to set goals and reach them.
Staying up-to-date with all of the new technology/research. This was especially difficult during the pandemic when we could not attend conferences and dinners on the newest subject matter.
Go for a walk outside, take a break and hang out with my daughter, or call my mom.
I’ve wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. Dermatology specifically sparked my interest during my summers working with my aunt who is a family physician.
Matching into dermatology at UAMS. As my husband read me the email that stated “you matched,” I knew my dream of becoming a dermatologist would become a reality.
Exercising, listening to music and socializing with friends and family.
