Brendan and Emily first met at her interview at UCF for medical school in 2018. Their paths crossed again in April of the following year at the "second look" day for accepted students, which Brendan attended as a school ambassador. After this, Brendan visited Gainesville while Emily was still a senior in college. Shortly thereafter they started dating. Brendan graduated in May of 2022 and headed off to San Diego to start his ENT residency. Emily graduated in May of 2023, and matched at UC San Diego for her radiology residency. On June 21, 2023 they got engaged during a trip to Spain! They can't wait to become husband and wife and begin their adventure together in Southern California!
