I am a Kentucky native and graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Medicine (COM) then completed an emergency medicine residency and an international emergency medicine fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and earnd an MPH at Western Kentucky University. As part of the fellowship, I completed the Gorgas Diploma Course in Clinical Tropical Medicine in Lima, Peru, earning the Diploma of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
