"I am currently sssistant professor of emergency medicine, director of EM simulation education. Current Member-At-Large SAEM Simulation Board, Education Small Group Leader SAEM 2020 Telemedicine Consensus Conference. Since I started on the SAEM Simulation Board in the spring of 2020, I have had the responsibility of developing the social media presence of the Simulation Academy. In my time, we have successfully overcome limitations to the account and have actively been tweeting academy updates. Moreover, in order to better serve our members, we have been highlighting publications by our members to increase visibility and continuously promote our members. Through our activity on social media, I have almost doubled the number of followers we have and grown our membership. I have also sought to actively communicate with our membership through regular SAEM Pulse updates to reach those who are not active on social media. As the Vice President of Social Media and Communications, I hope to continue to expand our ability to communicate with our membership, to foster community, announce academy events and promote content created by members of our academy. I hope to continue to grow our social media presence, double our follower base and be a megaphone for our community."
