Favorite Thing About Residency: I was attracted to St. Vs because of how established the program is and how strong of a reputation it has. I wanted to be at a Level 1 trauma center that sees lots of trauma and has more than one trauma rotation. I knew the experience I would gain with the life flight program would be unmatched and that because of this I would be prepared to handle any patient by the time I completed the program. Then when I met everyone on interview day the decision was a no brainer! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and had the same laid back but go get 'em attitude that I have. 

After Graduation: Major goals are to open/help run a free clinic and run for local office one day.
