Where are you from?

Phoenix, Arizona

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

Swimming, running, spending time with my family and my two Great Danes. I love reading and watching movies (good and bad ones) with friends when I have time.

What are your professional interests?

I'm interested in working as an Emergency Medicine Physician and Pediatric Hospitalist. I am also interested in International Medicine and Medical Education.

Why did you choose UA EM?

Beyond the opportunity to train in the combined EM‐Peds program, I was looking for a program where I felt supported by awesome people. During my time as a student at UA, I felt supported by the faculty and residents and was looking to continue that in residency.

Going camping with my family.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Do a short rafting trip in the Grand Canyon and continue to explore Arizona.
