Follow my scholarly journey in Nashville, TN, starting with vital classes and a summer project. Working with students and doctors at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology led to a publication in the AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY. Later years involved advanced studies, office hours, and groundbreaking research on Birth outcomes by race and Alcohol and tobacco interactions on Head and Neck Cancer. Join me through the highs and challenges on this education and research-driven path.
