Why did you choose VUMC Emergency Medicine?

I rotated through the ACE rotation as an MS4, and really enjoyed my time. The faculty, residents, and ED support staff made me feel at home and supported, almost as if, I was within the “Vandy Fam” already. The culture in the department is truly amazing, and I felt like I grew so much during my month. When it came time to apply, it was difficult to imagine a better place, and I felt like VUMC EM was the obvious choice

What would you be doing if you weren't doing Emergency Medicine?

I would be owning my own business. I grew up around the hotel industry as a kid, and have always thought it would be cool to own my own hotel one day

What's your 5-year plan?

I want to be done with training (+/- pursuing an MBA/Admin fellowship) and working in a 50/50 community/academic position. I truly want to be a leader within my community and be the best doctor/advocate I can be for my future patients.
