“

Southwest Virginia is more than the place that I attend medical school, it is my home. It is where I was born, where I was raised, and where I plan to raise my family. My experience as a firefighter/paramedic here has fostered a passion for emergency medicine and a drive to provide the highest level of quality, compassionate care to both my current and future patients. As an emergency physician, I plan to work in the same areas that I have spent so much time in as a first responder because I feel like I have a duty to serve the people that I have lived and worked alongside of for so long.”
