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

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 LOI:

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)!

Absolutely crushing and tragic news. @Seanpcleary was one of the best people, let alone surgeons and mentors, period. My heart goes out to his family. 💔 Sean Cleary Toronto, Remembering Sean P. Cleary, MD, Beloved Surgeon – daily

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! 📸: circa 6/6/25
