Biography

As a graduate of the UMKC School of Medicine’s medical school and emergency medicine residency training program, I could not be more thrilled to serve as associate residency director. I enjoy designing and organizing the residency’s non-clinical curriculum, including robust simulation and small-group experiences. I am passionate about advising and mentoring both current and aspiring EM residents as well as future clinician-educators.I consider myself a clinician-educator and am presently involved in simulation-based research.
