Your goal as an EMRA leader: My goal as an EMRA leader is to advance interest in the field of emergency medicine, and to create opportunities and exposure to the field for the those who lack it.

Top 3 traits of a great leader: 
1) Humility
2) Empathy
3) Teachable

What is the best advice you've ever received?
Put your socks on before your pants.

What is something people don't know about you?
I used to do improv comedy shows in college

If I weren't an emergency physician, I would be: In a pop-punk or metal band.

What's on your playlist?
I like to vary it up a lot. Mostly Metalcore/Deathcore on my workout playlist. But hiphop/indie on my study playlist. And of course a pop-punk summer jam playlist.
