That experience inspired me to provide the same sense of comfort and reassurance to patients facing their most vulnerable days.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical School: UNMC College of Medicine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research interests: <\/strong>exercise physiology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Medical interests: <\/strong>Transplant Anesthesiology, Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Professional Memberships:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

with anesthesiology: <\/strong>I am drawn to anesthesiology for its immediate impact through medications and procedures, and the opportunity to build trust and provide reassurance to patients during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives<strong> <\/strong>closely mirrors the experience that drew me to medicine in the first place<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why UNMC? <\/strong>UNMC represents home to me and offers an outstanding training environment, particularly its exceptional liver transplant program, which aligns closely with my primary fellowship interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three things people may not know about me:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I enjoy competitive swimming, both coaching and
