Michael is the National President of AMSA and a recent graduate of Touro University California. He joined AMSA in 2014 as a premed at Cal Poly SLO and first got involved nationally on the Health Policy Team in 2017. Michael was drawn to AMSA because of its dedication to creating physician-leaders and for its long history of advocacy, not just for future physicians, but for its dedication to creating equitable access to healthcare for patients. Michael has strong personal interests in healthcare access, medical education reform, treating substance use disorder, and making change through systemic policy change. He will be applying to Emergency Medicine Residency this year. He is currently living in Connecticut and enjoys rock climbing, home brewing beer, and hikes with his girlfriend and 2 dogs.
