Hey everyone! My name is Ganeev. I'm currently an internal medicine resident in San Diego, California, but my hidden passion lies within aerospace medicine. I discovered AsMA and AMSRO a few years ago and am now humbled to serve as your Parliamentarian-Historian this year. Goals for the year include updating the AMSRO bylaws to be accurate from some of the major changes we've made as an organization the last few years. Further, I want to develop a policies & procedures (P&P) manual as an operating framework for AMSRO Executive Council & include other AMSRO policies or procedures that are not necessarily included in the bylaws. Finally, I hope to make meaningful contributions to AsMA as a whole as well as part of the AsMA Bylaws Committee. Outside of AMSRO, I scuba dive at least monthly, like to travel, and like to spend time outdoors!

Hi there! I'm Catie Faulkner, a medical and MBA student. In addition to my studies, I'm proud to serve as an Air Force officer and explore the skies as a pilot—there’s nothing quite like the thrill of flying!

When I'm not hitting the books or soaring above the clouds, you can usually find me in a Pilates or Cycling class, where I love to challenge myself and shake off the stress. I also really really love sleep. As the Military Representative for AMSRO, I’m excited to inspire others to consider the many rewarding opportunities within military medicine and collaborate with everyone!
