Summary
- I am an emergency physician at Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas, holding Fellow status (FACEP) within the American College of Emergency Physicians. I trained at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and completed a fellowship in Health Policy and Health Equity. My clinical expertise is complemented by leadership experience as a former Site Medical Director and Director of Quality at a tertiary academic Level 1 trauma, stroke, and STEMI center. My research and academic interests focus on health equity, quality improvement, and optimizing care for vulnerable populations through policy and education. I actively mentor residents and students while leading initiatives to improve emergency department operations and patient outcomes. My goal is to leverage institutional change to drive equitable healthcare access and high-quality emergency care.
