As a dedicated healthcare executive with extensive experience in managing an academic emergency medicine department, I am excited to submit my candidacy for the AAAEM Member-at-Large Board position. I currently serve as the Executive Administrator for the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, I oversee a $20+ million annual budget, support over 60 faculty members, and lead efforts across financial, operational, and human resources functions. I also serve my institution as a member of both the Health System Financial Stewardship Committee and the My role is deeply aligned with AAAEM's mission, as I collaborate with institutional partners to advance research, education, and clinical care, and ensure the department’s financial sustainability.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to enhancing the administrative operations of academic medicine. From optimizing provider productivity at Haven Hospice to implementing faculty compensation models at UAB, I bring a strong track record of leadership and innovation. I am passionate about fostering excellence in emergency medicine education and am actively involved in residency program administration and faculty development initiatives.

My leadership experience extends beyond my professional roles, as I currently serve as the Communications Committee Chair for AAAEM and contribute to community service through the Junior League of Birmingham. If elected to the Board, I will bring my collaborative approach, financial acumen, and strategic vision to help AAAEM members advance their departments' patient care, education, and research missions. I look forward to continuing to support the professional growth of our field and its leaders.
