Favorite Thing About Our Program

I enjoy the academic ambiance in our Neurology department. Motivation as well as support, to be more academically accomplished, easily and smoothly ferries among us all indiscriminately, from faculty to fellows, residents, and students and from there back to faculty. That happens, asserted and reinforced by a nonchalant attitude of friendship, understanding, and acceptance to one another. It is just beautiful, that our department faculty and staff, mimic a bouquet of different cultural backgrounds that harmoniously blend to unbosom the potentials and power of medicine and academia and the mutual passion for Neurology.

 

What is your favorite thing to do in New Orleans?

I love to attend concerts and Broadway shows at Saenger Theater with my husband. I love to take walks by the lake with my family. During my little extra free time, I immensely enjoy reading about the history of different cultures.
