About

I am an anesthesiologist that is on the journey to discover how to live with life’s big questions and uncertainty with curiosity, joy and meaning. There are so many facets in each of us and our lives and I want to delve into the messy goodness that makes each of us uniquely human and connected. Professionally, I am on a mission to explore what our work and personal lives mean to us and how to find the space where both can flourish and teams can thrive. I love sitting with anyone and discussing big ideas and finding ways to reach impossible goals.

I want to delve into the messy goodness that makes each of us uniquely human and connected.
