My Greatest Accomplishment
As I continue to develop my skills as a physician and surgeon, I am proud of the path I have already traveled. It is still difficult as a woman to overcome certain stereotypes in the surgical world. Also, in accomplishing my career goals in surgery, I have grown as an individual by becoming confident and assertive in my abilities and judgments, while still maintaining my principles.
How Drexel Helped
The College of Medicine laid the foundation to my career. Without that solid basis in medical education and competence, as well as the opportunities the school offered, I would not have been able to pursue my career in surgery and, ultimately, transplantation.
Where I’ll Be In Five Years
I continue to be challenged in the complex field of transplantation where the patient care is collaborative, stimulating and completely rewarding. I hope to help further the discipline by continuing to care for and educate my patients, engage my colleagues and, perhaps, even inspire others to join in the efforts of the field through my work.
