My early childhood began with a love of math and science.  When coupled with a strong desire to serve the community, create value and develop a meaningful career, it was only natural that I pursue medicine.  As I began my journey determined to achieve this goal, I would gradually realize that life was not about the straight and narrow path.  It was about taking time to develop connections, promote others, and pivoting whenever possible.  I found joy in being a catalyst, someone who made it easier for others to do their jobs well.  This has led to a rewarding career as a clinical informaticist, an entrepreneur in the non-profit sector, and a mentor for many residents, fellows, and young attendings.
