Summary

• I am a board-certified in emergency medicine and addiction medicine and continue to work clinically in both fields.
  
  I have worked in diverse settings, from urban trauma centers to rural critical access hospitals, from ski resorts to island medicine, and from large academic centers to pre-hospital event medicine for large events.
  
  I completed medical school at the UC Davis School of Medicine, emergency medicine residency at UCSF-San Francisco General Hospital, fellowship training in Health Policy and Advocacy at UC Davis Medical Center, and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Health Policy and Law through a joint program of UCSF and UC Law SF.
  
  I currently work as an assistant clinical professor at UCSF in emergency medicine and on the inpatient addiction medicine consult service, in an addiction medicine clinic called Transitions Clinic of Sacramento, and as a supervising physician of a residential treatment program. Additionally, I serve as a medical consultant for a series currently in production on Netflix.
  
  In my leadership and advocacy roles, I serve on the Board of Directors of Sacramento Street Medicine as the Director of Strategic Initiatives, on the Board of Directors of California ACEP, as a regional delegate to the California Medical Association, as a member of the American Society of Addiction Medicine Legislative Advocacy Committee, and on the membership committee of the California Society of Addiction Medicine.
  
  I am passionate about health equity and vulnerable populations, social and political determinants of health, health systems reform, physician wellness, and health care innovation.
