Ashley Hackworth, DO
Where are you from? St. Louis, Missouri.
Why did you choose the College of Medicine – Tucson Pediatrics Residency Program? During the resident meet and greet, I felt like all the residents were genuinely happy and liked being in each other’s company. During interview day, I truly felt staff were eager to teach residents and help them succeed. One month into residency, I can say confidently that my intuition was correct!
What are your current professional interests and career goals? I am interested in completing a fellowship in neonatology after residency. I am also interested in racial disparities research.
What are your personal interests and hobbies? I love to travel, hike and write. I also love interior design!
What is your favorite thing about Tucson? I love how there is a mixture of new and old culture dispersed throughout the city. The sunsets against the Tucson terrain are also beautiful.
What are your non-medical goals during residency? Right now I am trying to learn piano. It’s a slow process, but I am having fun with it!
