What’s something you’ve learned about yourself during your time at HMS?
I am passionate about disaster medicine, and although the path that led me to this point has been long and at times challenging, it has also been filled with excitement, support, and personal growth.

What's your favorite spot or sight on the HMS campus?
Nothing quite beats sitting on the lawn in the Quad on a warm spring day. The grandeur of the beautiful buildings leaves me in awe, and being a part of this institution, so rich in history, feels like a dream come true.

Who or what motivates your work at HMS?
The world of disaster medicine is where the most vulnerable need the best of standards in the worst of times. My colleagues and peers consistently inspire me to exceed expectations, as we collectively strive to provide the highest level of care for those who need us the most.
