Why I am passionate about GME leadership:

Leadership is something that I have found by accident. The accidental leaders are often overlooked, but provide a unique perspective and voice others need to hear. I am passionate about shaping these "accidental leaders" who can change and create space in GME for the future we may not be able to anticipate. Family Medicine thrives in these unexpected spaces. Guiding future family physicians to disrupt their well made plans and discover their purpose and passions in medicine - that is where my passion lies.

What I'm passionate about in my personal life:

I love family gatherings, travel, surfing, fashion, fitness, and interesting art.
