What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
There are often U-M talks, plays and musical performances at relatively little cost. Last year, I enjoyed the 100th anniversary of the "Miracle Year" of Einstein's publications. Distinguished lecturers presented talks on topics related to Einstein's groundbreaking work. The talks lasted about an hour each, and sometimes would be followed by a trip to an observatory. During the last year, I've heard a spirituals performance, seen the “Nutcracker Suite” and “Hamlet” and even attended a lecture geared towards female professionals on how to balance family and career.
If a prospective resident has free time in Ann Arbor while they're here interviewing, what would you recommend they do?
Go the U-M events Web site and see if any activities are going on for that evening. You may be pleasantly surprised.
What’s the best part about living in Ann Arbor when you’re single?
There are lots of smart, eligible people in Michigan's graduate schools. The Law, Business and Medical schools – not to mention the numerous excellent graduate programs – have lots of potential people. Of the single people in my radiology year, all were dating people seriously within 6 months of starting residency.
What are your plans for the coming year?
Study for radiology regularly, go on vacation to far away, exotic places when there are breaks, and keep up on outside reading.
Having been here for a while now, what is the number one reason you would recommend Michigan?
University of Michigan has a national reputation. It provides a combination of the safety of a suburb, but the social and cultural opportunities of a small city.
