What are your personal interests and hobbies? Rock climbing, skiing, biking with my dog Bryn, scuba diving and cribbage.

Why did you choose U of A emergency medicine? Tucson has an incredible history and is the perfect blend of a large city with a small-town community. Specifically, this program is a huge reason why I was drawn to the field in the first place. There's a smile on everyone’s face, good music playing in the background and top-notch educators who are truly invested in your success and growth as a physician and as a person. It’s one big family, and I could not be prouder to be a part of it.

What is your favorite activity in Tucson or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program? Southern Arizona climbing, in my opinion, rivals the best in the country and holds a special place in my heart.

What are your nonmedical goals during residency? Continue to tick off Cochise classics.
