Dr. Shaver is a native West Virginian, raised in the small town of Sutton, WV.  She attended Marshall University for her undergraduate and medical school education and first came to Morgantown, WV in 2008 after being accepted into the WVU Department of Emergency Medicine Residency Class of 2011.  During residency, she developed a previously unrecognized interest in academia and residency direction and became involved in residency leadership as an Assistant Chief and Chief Resident. After graduation, she could not fathom working aside any other people but her DEM colleagues, and thus immediately joined the WVU Department of Emergency Medicine as a faculty member, and continued to serve in Residency Leadership positions as Assistant and Associate Program Director prior to being named Residency Program Director and Vice Chair of Education in 2014, serving in these roles until the spring of 2025. 

During her time as residency director, she worked tirelessly with the residency leadership team to foster an innovative educational program that helped support and develop residents career interests across the spectrum of possibilities in emergency medicine.  As part of her residency leadership and medical education roles, she became interested in the intersection between medical education, healthcare delivery/finance, and hospital processes, leading her to complete her MBA at WVU and ultimately to her selection as VPMA and ACMO at WVU Hospitals.  She continues to be involved in the academic and scholarly missions of the department and serves as the Associate PD for the Medical Education and Administration fellowship.  She works diligently to continue provide exciting educational opportunities for residents and fellows as part of her new and ongoing roles.

Although Dr. Shaver loves her career as an academic emergency physician, when she goes home, there is no better job than being a wife to her husband, Darrell, and a mother to their two children, Madison and Rylan.
