Hello! My name is Lexy, and I’m an MS4 originally from Central Pennsylvania. I graduated from Duke University in 2022 with a major in biology, as well as minors in neuroscience and chemistry. I’m currently pursuing research in pediatric cardiac anesthesiology and pediatric cardiology. With regards to Duke Med, I'm more than happy to talk about the Anesthesiology Interest Group (former Co-president), involvement with the Duke Human Simulation and Patient Safety Center (Sim Center), Medical Spanish elective, and the Duke Med Elementary organization. Outside of medical school, I love to play tennis/pickleball, bake, and root for Duke basketball! I'm also happy to chat about why I chose to return to Duke for medical school, moving to North Carolina, and any other questions that you may have!
