Why did you choose VUMC Emergency Medicine? Having rotated here as a fourth-year medical student, I learned quickly what makes this program exceptional. Vanderbilt EM is a team that empowers everyone to become the best versions of themselves, has an unyielding sense of purpose and service, and has a culture of integrity.

Interests in emergency medicine: Social EM, Event Medicine, and Medical Education

Five-year plan: In five years, I hope to provide exceptional emergency care and advocate for patients in a way that makes them feel seen, heard, and cared for. I'm not entirely sure of the specifics of my career path, but I am excited to start seeing patients and learn the craft of EM.

If not EM, what? I would probably be a track coach!

Hobbies: Running with my black lab (Koda), baking, and traveling

Random fact about me: I traveled the world as a professional pole vaulter before beginning my career in medicine
