What attracted you to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center? Initially found Dr. Galuska on Twitter when I was looking into EM rotations. Completed an away rotation and saw how the residents always spoke positively about the residency. Interacted with some amazing attendings. Also always preferred small towns over bigger cities having lived in Chicago and dealing with traffic.

Personal Goals: Travel and visit different countries with my own car driving across every country. Motorcycle across the US. Build my own custom car. Serve in Doctors without Borders.

Craziest / Best / Worst Job:

Craziest/Best - Worked 4 jobs during undergrad at the same time with 2 research, research sales, and an ER scribe. Met some of the best people and colleagues. I looked forward to work everyday because my colleagues and boss were amazing.

Worst - Plastic injection molding and assembly. Doing the same work over and over again. Never knew you could fall asleep with your hands working. 

Interesting fact:  Whenever I visit a country, I make sure to try their native food.
