What does a typical day look like for you?
I balance being a Medical Director, a surgeon, a clinician, a teacher, a mother, and a wife. I get the kids ready for school; take phone calls in the car; perform surgery, skin exams, and aesthetics all day while teaching residents; go to the gym with my longtime workout friend; and get home for family time in the evenings.
What about your career motivates you?
I love dermatologic surgery and the artistic and intellectual engagement of surgical facial reconstruction and aesthetic rejuvenation with fillers, radiofrequency, and lasers. Surgery and aesthetics go hand in hand.
What organizations do you enjoy contributing to?
In 2021-2022, I served as President of the Chicago Dermatological Society. During my tenure, I created the inaugural Art of Skin Gala, which is a celebration that all skin is beautiful. Six hundred people attended, and we raised $1.1 million that benefited organizations which support STEM education in Chicago’s underserved communities. I also created a new mentorship program, providing opportunities for medical students to learn from and network with established dermatologists in the Chicago area, in an effort to increase opportunities in dermatology for students from diverse backgrounds.
