Your goal as an EMRA leader: To facilitate mentorship and collaboration between students pursuing a career in emergency medicine!

Why serve as an EMRA leader?
I decided to become an EMRA leader because I wanted to bring students together. I have met outstanding individuals from many medical programs through interscholastic events and conferences. Due to this, I want to establish more collaboration in my region and leave a legacy of both mentorship and friendship.

What is the best advice you've ever received?
People are more likely to remember you for your kindness than your intelligence, so be nice. — My mother

Last non-textbook I read: "Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage" by Alfred Lansing— Equal parts terrifying and inspiring.
