    Why I chose this program/location for my training

    I chose Emergency Medicine because every day is different and unexpected which I love. It also provides a great work/life balance. I chose Muskegon for my training because it really does have high volumes and varied pathologies which I got to witness as a base student.

    I love that it is a four year program which allows for more EM experience and more sub-surgical specialty experience. The cherry on top is the amazing culture among the attending physicians and residents.

    Hobbies/interests outside of work

    I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two cats and dog. Our favorite thing to do is go overlanding in our 4runner and explore the hidden gems of Michigan. I also enjoy indoor and outdoor climbing as well as sewing and crocheting.
