Professional Statement

I completed my MD at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. I completed residency training and served as Chief Resident at the Northwestern University Emergency Medicine Residency Program (NUEM) based in Chicago, IL. I then moved to San Francisco, CA for a fellowship in the National Clinician Scholars Program (NCSP, formerly Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars Program) where I obtained a Masters Degree in Clinical Research. I have held a number of leadership positions in the Emergency Medicine Residents Associations as well as the American College of Emergency Physicians' Social Emergency Medicine Section. I also serve as Managing Editor for Policy Prescriptions, a health policy blog. My research interest lies in topics related to Social Emergency Medicine and health equity, with a specific focus on behavioral health and care for incarcerated, and recently incarcerated, populations. I believe strongly in community engagement and trainee mentorship throughout the research process.
