I am an evolving human being, trying, like you, to live in this complicated, confusing and beautiful world. Also like you, I have many roles in my life: mother, woman, physician, leader, writer, coach, dreamer, and creative.

I have worked as a faculty member in academic medicine since 2016, and in that time have been continuously learning - both experientially and formally - about what it means to be in modern medicine while balancing other roles and and priorities.

I never felt totally at home in the practice of medicine; the reasons and drivers multifactorial. But the first time I experienced coaching (without exactly knowing that’s what I was experiencing) I knew that this was the role I wanted to play. Interweaving the practice of medicine with coaching has substantially improved my professional satisfaction and reminded me that there are many ways to contribute in this world. Coaching allows me to weave my natural tendencies - curiosity, intuition, pattern recognition, and desire for deep human connection - into a role that feels meaningful and authentic.

Similarly, speaking engages my deep interest in a topic, often spending months investigating a topic, then blending ideas from different fields and perspectives into something that helps the audience evolve our thinking about common but incredibly important concepts within medicine and healthcare.
