Personal Statement
I am a third-year psychiatry resident in the UAMS Department of Psychiatry. As a participant, in the Resident Academic Track (RAT), I have dedicated time during residency to develop my skills in academic medicine and research. Through this experience, I will be working with the Translational Training in Addiction program under the mentorship of Dr. Melissa Zielinski. My clinical and research interests focus on the intersection of substance use disorders and other psychiatric conditions, particularly how substance use influences the development, course, and treatment of serious mental illness. I hope to contribute to a better understanding of these complex relationships and improve outcomes for individuals impacted by both psychiatric disorders.
