Secretary Editor

As a trainee, it’s easy to get lost in the daily grind of rotations, studying, and extracurriculars—but EMRA has kept me motivated, inspired, and enthusiastically optimistic about the field of emergency medicine. EM Resident, in particular, grounds me in my “why.” Each issue re-energizes my passion for emergency medicine, and the editorials consistently remind me how special this field truly is. They’ve inspired my goal of becoming a part of EMRA board.

If elected, I will bring a strong foundation of leadership to this role. Before residency, I served as a lead ED scribe, overseeing the training and performance of over 100 scribes. In medical school, I co-organized a large community health fair. Currently, I serve as EMRAM secretary and EMRA’s representative to ACEP’s Section on Trauma and Injury Prevention. I’m also an active member of the EMRA PEM committee and serve on my institution’s house staff council.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to apply for the EM Resident Editor/Secretary position and contribute my organizational skills, dependability, and leadership experience. I look forward to advocating for our specialty and sharing the same energy and inspiration that EM Resident has consistently given me.

To my EMRA family,

As an Emergency Medicine resident captivated by health policy, with a strong foundation in health communication and a passion for using written communication to advocate, educate, and connect, I would be honored to serve you as EMRA’s Secretary/Editor.

My background—including service as a Chief Resident, author for ScholarRx, AOA TIPS Fellow, and current EMRA Leadership Academy participant—reflects my commitment to leadership, education, and advocacy. I’ve developed and contributed to a wide range of narrative and educational content across platforms, and I take pride in producing writing that is accurate, engaging, and accessible.

If elected Secretary/Editor, I will commit to delivering timely, high-quality content. Each submission will be thoughtfully reviewed, and contributors will receive meaningful, constructive feedback. I will work to ensure EM Resident remains factually sound, diverse in perspective, grammatically polished, and clinically relevant. I will actively recruit contributors from across programs and backgrounds, and collaborate closely with EMRA staff to maintain smooth and professional publication cycles.

I’m excited about the opportunity to shape a publication that educates, advocates, and inspires. I would be grateful for your support and the chance to serve as your next Secretary/Editor.
