Q & A with Carie:

What do you love to do in your time off?

I enjoy spending my time outdoors at the beach/hiking, baking, taking creative classes such as ceramics, traveling around the world and taking road trips!

What defines your personality?

I am thoughtful, compassionate, and goal-oriented.

Why did you choose a career in medicine?

I had the opportunity to do a Public Health Travel Study Program in Costa Rica which inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. I knew I wanted to be part of a medical team where our goal is to improve each patient's life by addressing their health concerns.

Favorite procedures or surgeries to perform

I love that within the otolaryngology and head/neck speciality, there are many in-office procedures and intricate surgeries. Suturing is by far my favorite.

Charities/causes that you are passionate about

In college, I had an opportunity to be a camp counselor for UCLA's Unicamp. It was a magical experience to support LA's underserved youth as they thrived and found their passions in an outdoor space.

I truly believe dog's are the best furry friends! I am also passionate about any charities/causes that provide that furry friendship to people with disabilities to enhance their life.
