Biography

I have served IUSM as the statewide clerkship director since 2016. Annually my clerkship team is responsible for educating approximately 365 senior medical students spread across 9 campuses and 24 clinical sites. Additionally we are responsible for a robust visiting student program (24-32) students, an under-represented minority scholarship (4-6 recipients), the physician assistant rotation in emergency medicine (42 students), a career exploration elective for 3rd year medical students, a leadership and scholars track for 1st year medical students interested in EM as a career, and the mentor-ship of the EM student interest group.

I completed a medical education fellowship in 2017 along with a master's degree in medical education from the University of Pennsylvania. I have served on the CDEM Grants and Awards Committee from 2018-2020 and recently joined the CDEM Curriculum and Assessment Committee.

I hold the CDEM community in high regard. I have made numerous connections through the national committees and it is wonderful to work among such a talented group of educators across the country. In the executive leadership capacity I would hope to serve the community at large, provide clear and concise communication, bring innovation to the board, and assist the president with their goals and visions so they can have a productive tenure.
