Program: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine - Erie

Your goal as an EMRA leader: My main goal is increasing student exposure in EM; most students are unsure if EM is right for them and I would like to help make that an informed decision.

Top 3 traits of a great leader: 
1) Patience
2) Persistence
3) Communication

What is the best advice you've ever received?
True character is what you do when no one is watching.

Last non-textbook I read: "Letters to a Young Doctor" by Richard Selzer

Favorite Twitter feed: I am absolutely new to twitter so I guess EMRA! If anyone has any suggestions I'm open!

What's on your playlist?
Currently, Paul Lang's 101 Movie soundtracks on piano; they are great study music! (specifically the Game of Thrones songs)
