As the Community Ambassador for Medicine Forward and an Ambassador for the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation, I bring a unique perspective to healthcare as a physical therapist and three-time cancer survivor. My journey has given me deep insights into both the clinical and human aspects of medicine. Through engaging conversations with countless physicians, I've gained a comprehensive understanding of the challenges they face—ranging from loss of autonomy and frustrations with EMRs to burnout and moral injury. In my Substack newsletter and YouTube channel, "Stand Up (for) Doctors!" I amplify the voices of doctors, other healthcare professionals, and patients, as they share their struggles, triumphs, and passions. I love connecting physicians and building communities, showcasing the transformative power of the physician-patient relationship in reshaping the healthcare landscape. My mission is to raise awareness, cultivate support, and promote physician wellness, driving positive change that benefits both doctors and patients.
