Hey, I’m Maddie! I attended Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in
Lubbock, TX. Wreck ‘Em!! I’m a lifelong Red Raider fan, and football season is
one of my favorite times of the year.
I chose emergency medicine because I enjoy the procedures, fast pace, and
unpredictability that every shift brings. While I didn’t rotate at CHRISTUS Spohn,
I was consistently impressed by everything I heard about the program. The
outstanding procedural training, supportive faculty, and how genuinely happy the
residents were during my interview made it an easy decision to rank this program
at the top!
Outside of the ED, I love being outdoors and spending time with my husband, who
is a mechanical engineer. We love trying new restaurants together, and I also enjoy
cooking and hope to open a food truck someday! I grew up spending a lot of time
on the lake, so I’m excited to trade lake days for the beach and learn more ocean
activities like fishing while living in Corpus Christi. When I’m not working, you’ll
usually find me playing sand volleyball, pickleball, football, or hanging out with
our two dogs, Karlie and Goose!
