Hi, I'm Kayla! I was born in Houston but have actually lived there four separate times in between moving to England, Pennsylvania, and Washington. I went to undergrad at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, and medical school at KCU in Kansas City, Missouri. I fell in love with the Corpus Christi EM residency program during my rotation there and compared every single other program to them throughout my interview season. Everybody here is so welcoming, fun, and friendly, and there is always something exciting going on outside of work. My favorites so far are beach bonfires, sand volleyball tournaments against the Family Medicine residents, and exploring new restaurants with my co-residents. I could not be happier to have matched at such an incredible program and would love to talk to anybody who has questions about it.
