Summary

In roles as a physician, researcher, educator, and leader I have had the opportunity over many years to work alongside a wide variety of people from all walks of life. I believe that open and honest communication and the development of meaningful relationships are the key to joy and success both within the workplace and the broader community. I highly value hard work, competence, accountability, discipline and humility. I believe these values are the key to success - especially when coupled with kindness and caring.
