What are the strengths of your training program?

How are you involved in research? What are your research interests?
I am interested in health disparities, global health, and quality improvement. I am looking at admission data from the general floor to the ICU and examining socio-economic variables associated with transfer.

How do you spend your time outside of work?
I am a big fan of the near year-round patio weather, especially with my pup. I enjoy audiobooks and just overall quality time with people who make me happy.
