Medical School: University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine
Undergraduate School: University of Arizona
I grew up in Arizona and did my undergrad in Tucson at the University of Arizona. I then completed medical school at the University of Nevada, Reno. I first became interested in Emergency Medicine while working as a scribe in the ED prior to applying to medical school. Early on in my medical experiences, I realized that I found it important to be able to diagnose and treat a wide variety of diseases. Emergency medicine offered the opportunity to do just that. In my free time I enjoy hiking with my fiancé, exercising at the gym, reading, and writing music!
Even though I wasn’t able to do an away rotation in Corpus Christi because of COVID, I had heard from a classmate who did rotate here that the program has not only an excellent place to train but also a supportive learning environment. During my interview I felt strongly that Corpus Christi would be a great place to learn emergency medicine. My first few months as a resident have solidified this belief! The residency’s unopposed training environment has translated to lots of early experience with procedures.
