Why did you choose UA EM?

My interview day had me hooked - beautiful weather, gorgeous mountains, fun and HAPPY residents and welcoming staff.  Because of the longevity and reputation of the program, I knew I would be trained well.  And, because of the people, I knew I would enjoy myself during the process!

Favorite activity in Tucson?

Having people over for dinner, games, and pool time!

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Be an amazing wife no matter how tired or stressed I am, get to the gym, write/call home often, and start a family
