I’m excited to announce my candidacy for Director of Education. My journey with EMRA began with the Ultrasound Committee, where I later served as Committee Chair. In that role, I collaborated with the EMRA Medical Student Committee (MSC) and others to develop educational programming and various education-related initiatives, strengthening my skills in project management and multitasking. I’ve completed the EMRA Leadership Academy and currently serve as an EMRA Health Policy Academy Fellow.

Outside EMRA, I’ve combined my leadership experience with my passion for teaching. I was chair of the TCEP MSC and remain actively involved with them today. I regularly give lectures, lead workshops, and mentor medical students applying into EM.

As Academic Chief Resident, I plan my program’s didactics, simulations, as well as contribute to curriculum development, allowing me to stay engaged with current trends and changes in medical education.

If elected, I aim to expand EMRA’s educational resources while upholding high standards for quality content. I will advocate for members and foster transparent dialogues around potential ACGME changes. With broad EMRA experience and a strong commitment to both medical student and resident education, I'm ready to take on the role of Director of Education.

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.
