Why did you choose UA EM?

I did an away rotation here and loved it. The residents and faculty were great and always eager to teach. The facilities for both main and south campus are amazing and I loved the unique combination of rotating at both. Even the interviews were casual and really made me appreciate how the program felt like a great fit for me. I loved the city of Tucson when I did my undergrad here and am glad for the opportunity to return.

What's your ideal vacation?

My ideal vacation would be anywhere I could explore the history and foods of someplace new and also find beautiful outdoor locations to go hike and climb with my wife.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

I hope to keep having fun in Tucson exploring the outdoors with my dog and wife and trying new foods and trying to learn a bit more Spanish.
