What professional tips or advice would you like to share about your profession?

Learn to say "No"! But use that power judiciously. If an opportunity advances the profession, your students/residents and your career, say "Yes". And work hard, it's worth it!

What is your #1 reason for becoming an ADEA member?

Improving educational programs at predoctoral and residency levels.

What has been the most rewarding experience of your career?

Grant writing as a pathway to making educational opportunity and access to care equitable.

How has ADEA Connect been useful to you?

Easy to use and it casts a wide net or has a narrow focus depending on your need. I use it to stay in touch with Sections and SIGs and my duties on the Council of Sections Administrative Board. Plus, it keeps me informed!

What is your favorite hobby or place to travel?

Fishing, usually with family on vacations. I have plans this year to fish off the Great Barrier Reef for Black Marlin.
