I’m a human who wears a lot of hats in my professional life: pediatric critical care medicine physician, leader, wellness director, educator, and coach. I’m also a wife, mother, amateur chef, and book lover.

As a person who has experienced burnout twice, I’ve spent years discovering how to find a saner way to live and work, a process that has come with a lot of unlearning of internalized cultural messages about success. I still have a lot to learn, and I write, speak, and podcast as a way to share as I go.

I love sharing what I have learned with others so that they can experience more fulfillment and joy in their professional and home lives. In order to do this, I push back on the narrative of healthcare worker as ‘superhero’ and instead emphasize the humanity of healthcare workers and the importance of their wellbeing.

I link current data and personal stories as a physician navigating the intersection of work, home, community, and self. I love sharing what I’ve learned through speaking, and I have spoken throughout the United States about my innovative approach to wellbeing, active stress management, and impacted hundreds of people nationally.
