She enjoys being a part of an academic medical center because it is often on the cutting edge of research, and she has the opportunity to collaborate with other leaders to help make the medical center successful. In her position, she has learned that every interaction counts and can have a domino effect on others. She is inspired by her wonderful mentors and by innovative people who think of new and improved ways to do quality work.
