    I am an associate professor and associate program director at the Duke University Emergency Medicine Program, as well as the Duke EM Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion co-founder/co-chair. My primary area of interest and expertise is in diversity & inclusion, clinical teaching, and feedback. I am enthusiastic, with a passion for collaboration growing talent, and helping to contribute through my project management, organizational, and communication skills. I have served on several national committees for education & diversity including helping with the Educational Summit for SAEM, helping to create a DEI mini-track for CORD last year, being a speaker for the DEI webinar series for ADIEM in 2020, and serving as co-founder and facilitator for CORD DEI Stronger Together bookclub, among other contributions. I possess a broad clinical and research training experience centering around project management, collaboration, and educational skills training. Briefly, this includes Duke Teach Equity Now, Duke Moments to Movement Foundation Course, ACEP Teaching Fellowship, ALiEM Faculty Incubator Program (where I now serve as chief operation officer), AAMC Medical Education Research Certificate program, Duke Educational Skills Longitudinal Mentorship Program, and Duke Academy for Health Professions Education and Academic Development (AHEAD) Med Ed Certificate Program, among other development.

    I would be honored to work with others to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion for our medical education community through education and research. I believe together collectively, we have the power to have a greater impact and am excited to be involved further to give back to our community. I desire to help disseminate knowledge by curating and providing resources to our community surrounding Diversity in Medical education, best practices/promising practices surrounding faculty/resident recruitment with the use of holistic review, and mitigating bias in the education/feedback we provide. I helped lead our CORD Best Practice team to focus on 3 papers regarding DEI in med ed (Holistic Review & Mitigating Bias; Physician Pipeline and Pathway Program; both under review by WestJem; Faculty Recruitment and Representation - accepted for publication). I believe through ADIEM we could do similar work to help serve our community.

    I have been able to do some work surrounding this here at Duke by teaching holistic review to our program directors at our institutional GME meetings. I would love to have regular offerings to our community in the form of skills training and workshops to practice tools that can then be shared at the participant’s local institutions. By doing so, we can have a larger impact on our work and reach. I look forward to the opportunity to be involved, create networks and relationships, and to serve our ED community.
