My tips for women in healthcare
"Understand imposter syndrome and know your value so you can take the seat at the table you deserve. Do not be afraid to pivot; most people do not have linear careers, and taking risks and new opportunities pays off in the long run. And remember it’s a small world, embrace professional connections and collaborations at work, and over time you will build a phenomenal network."
How I see the future of the healthcare industry
"I see a huge role for AI-enabled medical innovations making our health systems more efficient and safer. I am also very excited about personalized medicine becoming standard of care in many indications."
Who or what has influenced me most in my professional career
"Being a single, working mother of two amazing kids has been a blessing but also a huge challenge. The pressures of this experience have really helped me prioritize what I want out of my work and the impact that I want to make on healthcare and the world more broadly."
Qualities I call essential for success in the healthcare industry
"This is a highly regulated industry where ethics are paramount, so innovation and disruption must also be balanced with patience and prudence, ‚do no harm’ should always be at the forefront of our work."
My advice for building a strong professional network
"Keeping in touch with loose ties is key, you cannot only engage when you need something. Rather being a consistent, reliable connection, who also gives back, is the way to go. You have to be willing to be generous with your time and expertise."
Best advice I ever received
"Do not let other people assume what you are capable of and how you want to work. It’s your job to proactively communicate this to them. The only real failure is if you don’t get back up after you fail."
