The best advice Elizabeth has ever heard...
"Do it afraid. This is such a simple statement, but it has given me the courage to get through every hard day and shown me that I am capable of more than I think."
Q: What’s your first priority as an EMRA Board member?
A: My first priority is to strengthen the diverse voices of EM residents across the country. I hope to provide quick turnaround mentorship to residents interested in publishing, recruit diverse perspectives to write opinion pieces, and feature different programs and all they have to offer.
Q: How do you recharge after a tough shift?

Q: What is something people don’t know about you?
A: I was a match for a patient on the Be the Match registry during my first year of medical school and got to donate my stem cells!
Q: 1 skill you want but don’t have yet:

Q: 1 skill you could do without:
A: Learning to sing my ABCs backwards in elementary school hasn't won me many awards.
Q: Does pineapple go on pizza? 🍕
A: Absolutely!
Q: Favorite comfort food/drink:
A: Box mac and cheese, specifically Annie's shells & white cheddar.
