The Smooth Sailing Life™ Nautical Metaphor
Sometimes you find your purpose in your lowest moments.
Completely overwhelmed as a physician and mother of young children, drowning in endless weeks of call within a broken system I longed to fix—only to be told to look the other way and work even harder—I retreated to the privacy of home, where tears wracked my exhausted body.
“I can’t do this. I’m capsizing!”

I’m determined, optimistic, and idealistic, with a hint of a rebel mixed in. I love to tackle vexing problems and challenges with unconventional solutions.

It’s a blast being behind the camera capturing special moments to share.
When I hear a great cha cha, hustle, or Viennese Waltz, I’m ready to get out on the dance floor!
When I’m sad, I play moonlight sonata on the piano or cello.
I am blessed and deeply grateful for cherished friends, family, colleagues, and for being trusted by patients and mentees alike.
