My Clinical Journey

My journey in medicine has been shaped by diverse clinical experiences that have strengthened my commitment to patient care and medical excellence. Each opportunity has provided unique insights into different aspects of healthcare delivery and reinforced my passion for becoming a compassionate physician.

"The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease." — William Osler

In Her Own Words

From the Ambulance to the Classroom

Reflecting on her paramedic years, she's described wanting to extend her impact past the few minutes she'd get with any one patient in the field — training peers so more people know how to respond to an overdose. — Burnett School of Medicine at TCU, 2024

Why the Data Matters

"I'm absolutely sure that we're saving more lives than are reported." — TCU Magazine, 2025

Building Muscle Memory

On TCU's simulation training, she's described running the same high-stress scenario over and over until the response becomes automatic — so it holds up when the pressure is real. — Fort Worth Magazine, 2025
