I'm Val, and I relish spending time with my handsome husband, who you'll find on the previous page. Our journey began in med school, and we're both thrilled that our paths led us to Corpus Christi. We share a deep love for the outdoors, often embarking on hiking and camping adventures. My furry companion, Cash, a spirited GSP pup, keeps life interesting and helps me unwind from the demands of work. Much like Cash, Tylor, my other buddy, brings joy as we explore the beach together, watching him revel in the ocean's waves. Beyond these activities, I find solace in our garage gym, where I work out, and in practicing yoga with my co-residents. 

I couldn't have asked for a better residency program, and the faculty plays a significant role in making it exceptional. They lead each shift with enthusiasm and approachability, ensuring our success as future EM physicians. Attendings offer unwavering support, going the extra mile to impart valuable knowledge. The camaraderie among co-residents and nursing staff infuses our workplace with positive energy, making each day a pleasure to anticipate. Additionally, our unopposed program ensures that we gain ample experience with procedures, further enriching our training.
