Biography

I joined faculty at the University of Arizona in 2008 and completed a two year Clinician Scientist Program. Since 2013, I have had the privilege of serving as the Residency Program Director at Banner University Medical Center South, where I have been responsible for overseeing and advancing the Emergency Medicine Residency Program. In 2018, I was appointed Professor of Emergency Medicine at The University of Arizona College of Medicine, a position that has enabled me to further contribute to medical education and clinical research.

As Medical Director of Clinical Efficiency at Banner University Medical Center, I have collaborated on projects aimed at improving operational processes and enhancing patient care outcomes. In January 2024, I expanded my leadership responsibilities to serve for a second time as Chief-of-Staff at Banner University Medical Center South Campus. My ongoing work involves spearheading peer review and clinical documentation initiatives, both of which aim to elevate patient safety standards and ensure best practices across the institution. This commitment to clinical excellence is complemented by my continued academic involvement, particularly through teaching and mentoring emerging medical professionals at The University of Arizona.

Beyond my clinical and educational leadership, I have pursued scholarly work in areas such as emergency department patient flow, early sepsis identification, patient satisfaction, medical education, and physician wellness. These endeavors have contributed to my recognition as an academic leader in Emergency Medicine. In 2024, I started an MBA at The University of Arizona Eller College of Management, reinforcing my commitment to continuing education and leadership in healthcare administration. This academic journey has broadened my ability to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare, ensuring that my contributions remain at the intersection of education, clinical excellence, and organizational leadership.
