Undergraduate: The Ohio State University – Columbus, OH

PGY1 Residency: Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center – Brooklyn, NY
PGY2 Residency: Emergency Medicine, University of New Mexico Hospitals – Albuquerque, NM

After completing my residency training, I was drawn to The University of Vermont Medical Center by the progressive medical culture, well-established pharmacy services, and incredible work-life balance promoted by the institution.

As Residency Program Director, my goal is to instill these core attributes directly into the PGY2 Emergency Medicine program and provide an unparalleled learning experience. Burlington is truly a hidden gem and I've fallen in love with the amazing restaurants, summer days on Lake Champlain, and endless outdoor activities that it has to offer year round.

Above all, the welcoming culture both inside the hospital and out has made it easy to call Burlington and UVM Medical Center “home”.

During my search for post-residency positions, I came across The University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, VT.

I had never been to Vermont but didn't look back once I visited for my interview. The lifestyle in Vermont promotes a work-life balance that keeps people healthy and happy. I take advantage of the year-round outdoor activities including biking, hiking, snowboarding, and water sports on Lake Champlain.

The outdoors and Vermont lifestyle combined with the opportunity to work with great staff in the pharmacy and emergency departments at an academic level 1 trauma center immediately drew me in. I am excited for the opportunity to be a part of the development and implementation of our PGY2 emergency medicine pharmacy residency program.

Burlington and The University of Vermont Medical Center provide a great place to practice, teach, and enjoy life. There is no better place to be!
