- What did you do before medical school: I was an ED nurse (at MMC actually!)
- Best / Worst JobI worked as a laborer at a construction site in high school, was really hard work, and certainly some interesting personalities
- Why Maine Medical CenterMy professional journey has been circling southern Maine for some time and after working at MMC as a nurse and getting to know the faculty and staff I knew I had to do everything possible to spend time there as a physician. When the EMS fellowship started a few years ago I immediately knew that was my optimal path. MMC has the exposure to all the things I love about emergency medicine, in a place that I have a deep connection to. Adding the EMS portion highlights how MMC is truly a part of the community and I wanted to train in a place that would embed me in the Maine communities I love much!
- Celebrity I most resembleI have been told Matt Fox, but secretly wish it was Steve Carell
