Doctor's Bio
I completed both my Emergency Medicine residency and my Anesthesia Critical Care Medicine fellowship at Emory University where I currently divide my time between the Grady Emergency Department, the Surgical/Transplant Intensive Care Unit, and the Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery Intensive Care Unit – both at Emory University Hospital. My academic and research interests include quality improvement, interdisciplinary communication, resident and fellow education, trauma resuscitation, and sepsis management.
