The recipe for a truly special GIM division: warm collegiality + passion for education + culture of creativity.
Bio
Passionate about the power of stories, I have designed a narrative approach to goals of care conversations, the 3-Act Model, and love teaching the “art of conversation” to clinicians of all stripes. As a leader, I aim to continue building a dynamic palliative care program, one which prioritizes clinical excellence, teaching, and a culture of thriving. I am thankful to work with a truly wonderful team. I’m also grateful to be a 2019 Cambia Health Foundation Sojourns Scholar and a 2018 Hearst American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Leadership Scholar.
I enjoy the great outdoors, music that’s rough around the edges, and books that delve deep.
