As the Immediate Past Chair of EMRA’s Education Committee, I hope to serve as your next EMRA Director of Education. Currently, I am the Medical Education and Simulation Fellow at Hennepin County Medical Center. As a fellow, I have the time needed to fully commit myself to effectively contributing to the EMRA Board of Directors.

After serving in numerous EMRA leadership roles over the past six years, I already have prior experience with the Director of Education’s formal responsibilities. As a medical student, I sat on the EMRA Board of Directors and partook in the day-to-day work of the board, so I also intimately understand what it takes to be a creative and productive board member.

I currently serve as an advocate for EMRA and all emergency medicine residents on the ACEP Education and Academic Affairs Committees, as well as the ACEP Scientific Assembly Educational Meetings Subcommittee and the CORD Advising Student Committee in Emergency Medicine. These roles have prepared me to successfully advocate for you and your education on a national level.

I would be honored to advocate for you all and serve as your next EMRA Director of Education!
