I was born in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and raised in Riverdale. I am the eldest daughter of Nigerian immigrants. I grew up in two different worlds simultaneously, but one thing that remained constant was the presence of disparities. I believe in striving toward the best version of myself so that I can be a part of positive change in the world. I pride myself in being able to connect with people through shared humanity and transparency.

I am a medical graduate from Ross University School of Medicine with my undergraduate degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Born with a passion for both science and service, I pursued medicine to combine my curiosity about the human body with a deep commitment to helping others. Outside of medicine, I find balance and renewal in the outdoors. I am an avid mountain biker and snowboarder, and I seek out adventure whenever I can. I chose this residency program because it values teamwork, lifelong learning, and patient-centered care. I am excited to grow both personally and professionally as I contribute to a community of dedicated physicians.

I was born in Macon, Georgia, and raised in Central Georgia. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Georgia State University and completed my medical education at Morehouse School of Medicine. I also spent a year conducting research at the Hughston Foundation Clinic in Columbus, Georgia, focusing on orthopedic and sports medicine topics.

I chose the Phoebe Family Medicine program because of the warm and welcoming atmosphere I experienced during my interview with the residents and faculty. I’m confident that the supportive environment and strong training will help me grow into the kind of physician I aspire to be.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new activities, fishing, working out, traveling, and discovering great food—I’m definitely a foodie!

I grew up in the Middle East and then moved to India before coming to the U.S., where I completed college, earned my MBA, and graduated from DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine in Tennessee. My diverse experiences have shaped my passion for building strong relationships with patients and delivering personalized, compassionate care. I chose family medicine because I enjoy working with patients of all ages and being a consistent part of their healthcare journey.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy cooking, exploring new restaurants with my wife, staying up to date with the latest tech, and playing story-driven video games. I also love spending time outdoors, going for long walks, and relaxing with a good movie. I’m excited to grow as a physician, serve the Albany community, and be part of the supportive team at Phoebe.

Building meaningful connections and caring for the whole person is at the heart of what I do. I was born in Newark, New Jersey, and raised just outside of Austin, Texas. My path to Family Medicine was shaped by a passion for service, lifelong learning, and helping others feel seen and supported in their health journey. I have a strong background in research and a special interest in sports medicine and pain management. As a former athlete, I’m especially passionate about helping people stay active, feel their best, and reach their health goals.

Outside of medicine, I’m a big foodie who enjoys cooking and exploring different food cultures. You can also find me hiking with my dog or reading a good book. I chose the Phoebe Family Medicine Residency Program because of its broad training, unopposed structure, and the welcoming Southern hospitality that reminded me of home. I’m truly grateful to be part of this community and to care for patients in such a supportive environment.

I was born in Uganda but grew up in Zambia and Botswana before eventually immigrating to America. I completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology at Sacramento, California and Miami, Florida. Upon graduating, I moved to Seattle, Washington where I worked as a substance use disorder counselor. Later I returned to medical school and graduated from Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Buffalo,New York

I chose the Phoebe Family Medicine program because it will provide me with the opportunity to work with underserved populations. The program is unopposed which will help me become the physician I aspire to be in the future. Throughout the interview process, the facility, residents, and staff were very welcoming.

Outside of medicine I enjoy taking long walks in nature, reading books, watching Asian dramas, knitting, and crocheting. I am working on learning Korean and Kumam.

I was born in Atlanta, Ga, raised throughout metro Atlanta, but grew up in an Igbo Nigerian household. My passion for Family Medicine comes from the fact that I will be caring for a variety of patients, from birth to their wisdom years, as well as having the opportunity to form deeper relationships with my patients. I love that for me and I hope that my future patients are able to feel that love as well. I went to Georgia State University for my bachelors and I graduated from Ross University School of Medicine. I chose Phoebe because it is an unopposed residency program. As a result, I will be able to take advantage of the full spectrum of what Family Medicine has to offer. Another reason was how welcoming the city of Albany, as well as the faculty and administrators of Phoebe, was towards me. I am a mother to a beautiful young boy and I hope that my drive and determination makes him proud. Some of my favorite things to do outside of hanging with family and friends, includes trying new recipes in the kitchen (or just eating some great food because let’s be honest… food is life), anything that keeps me active (gym/weight training, trails, hiking, etc.), and anything that caters to the right side of my brain (e.g., art, music, dancing, singing, writing, content creating, podcasting).

I chose Phoebe Putney because of the how all the people were during my interview experience. During my interview, I felt very welcomed to the program by all the faculty, administrators, and residents. I felt that they were very honest, kind, respectful, forthcoming, and everyone I interviewed with sounded enthusiastic about the program. I also wanted to be at an unopposed program so that I could have ample opportunities to be able to develop all of the skills necessary to become a competent practicing physician, which is how I decided that this program was the best fit for me.

Outside of medicine, I like to spend time with my family and friends, travel and explore new places, try new cuisines, and play tennis.

I chose the Phoebe Family Residency because I was looking for an unopposed program in a more rural setting where there is a greater need for physicians. I believe the curriculum as well as the professionalism and strive for excellence displayed by the faculty and the residents is best suited for me. I am grateful to be in this program and look forward to the training and experience that will allow me to ensure the best quality of care for my future patients.

Outside of medicine, I love learning about history, geography, and different cultures. I also speak Spanish! I enjoy spending time with friends and watching sports (Let’s Go Miami Heat!)

I chose the Phoebe Family Medicine Residency Program for its unopposed structure and dedicated mentors who prioritize residents’ training experiences. From the moment I interviewed, I felt the welcoming and supportive atmosphere. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a nurturing community and am confident that this program will help me become a well-rounded physician, capable of providing comprehensive and compassionate care.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and spending time with family and friends. I am also passionate about health education and look forward to contributing to community outreach programs during my residency.

In 2006, while I was in high school, my father had a stroke which ignited my desire to explore a career in medicine. After seeing how my father was treated by a family physician, I was inspired to pursue my dream of becoming a family medicine practitioner to provide the level of care that every patient deserves. I attended Ross University School of Medicine and completed my core rotations in Norwalk, CT. I chose Phoebe because the faculty and staff were so welcoming and wanted to see their residents thrive and develop into accomplished physicians. I also fell in love with the town of Albany as it reminded me of home, a small-town willing to do what is necessary for its community.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy visiting historical sites, playing video games, and spending time with my family at Walt Disney World. My favorite quote from Walt Disney which has guided me throughout my life is “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Multiple experiences informed my interest in Family Medicine. First, my pediatrician recommended controlling asthma through swimming, inspiring my desire to help my future patients improve their health through exercise. Second, my younger sister, who was born with Down Syndrome, improved her abilities through support from her physician, my family and me, publicly funded social services, and the community. She works. Third, my mother became a Family Nurse Practitioner and highlighted the importance of collaboration to fill the large need in primary care. Fourth, I took care of my grandfather during the day while he was on home hospice and reflected on his preventable medical problems. I realized Family Medicine is king at prevention and maximizing quality of life.

My personal hobbies/interests outside of medicine include spending time with family and friends, working out at the gym, candle-making, reading, and rewatching some of my favorite shows/movies.

After shadowing my father in the emergency department, I soon learned that an occupation in Medicine would be one that involved variety, continual learning, and social interactions – all being factors that I have determined to be crucial to a satisfying career. These factors I found to be prevalent in Family Medicine, which led me to pursue this program. My interest in a medical career has further deepened as I have progressed through my undergraduate studies and research at the University of Tennessee – Knoxville, graduate studies at Lincoln Memorial University’s DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine in Harrogate, Tennessee, and core rotations in Crossville, Tennessee.

My personal hobbies/interests include tennis, whitewater rafting, computer building, and autocross racing.

I attended St. Thomas University for my undergraduate studies and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Biology degree. I then worked as a middle school science teacher. Later, I enrolled at Ross University School of Medicine, earning a Doctor of Medicine degree. When applying for residency, I was looking for a program to prepare me to become a full-spectrum family physician to serve the people in my community better, especially the underserved population. I chose Phoebe Family Medicine Residency because it is unopposed, and it has the resources and support I need to grow into the family physician I envisioned. Also, the moment I walked into my interview, I knew I wanted to be trained at Phoebe as I felt right at home and truly experienced the southern hospitality.

Outside of medicine, I am a wife and a mother to a very energetic boy. I love spending time with my family. I also enjoy cooking, dancing, and listening to music.

When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching and playing sports, gardening, exercising, DIY projects, video games, movies, exploring, and hanging out with my friends.

I chose Phoebe because of the people. During my interviews, faculty and administrators were honest, respectful, and kind — and now being here, this extends to the city of Albany itself. I also wanted to be at an unopposed program where I could develop my skills to the fullest without feeling like I was stepping on other people’s toes. Most importantly, I wanted to be involved in the care of this underserved community.

Outside of medicine, I like to spend time with my family and friends, take a good nap, and explore new places to eat. My talents include Mario Kart drifting, identifying Kpop songs & artists, and being able to drink 5 cans of Coca Cola in a single day (PR). I am hoping to win my family’s fantasy football league at least once in the next 3 years. And I am a proud Slytherin.

Applying to residency, I knew I wanted to apply somewhere warm and somewhere new to me; this led me to Georgia. Phoebe caught my attention because I was looking for an unopposed program where I knew I would receive full exposure to Family Medicine. However, the program truly won me over when I saw how friendly and welcoming everyone was, which wiped away any uncertainty I previously had about choosing this program. It was also pleasantly surprising to find out that Phoebe had built an apartment complex – Flaggstone – just for residents and students. This is something that is almost impossible to find at any other program.

Outside of medicine, I love go-karting, fitness, horror movies, and exploring new countries. I also enjoy doing all kinds of sports, driving stick shift cars and watching formula 1 races. (Go Red Bull!)

Outside of medicine, I enjoy running, decorating and being with my family. Also, I might be the only Florida you’ll ever meet in Georgia. LOL!
