Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Physician with St. Elizabeth Physicians<\/p>\n

Tell us about your job:<\/h3>\n

I have the unique opportunity as an ICU doctor to see people at their worst and in many instances see them rebound. I have been fortunate enough to be a place of solace when people have loved ones who are transitioning. I am an advocate for those who feel they have lost their voices in my ICU. While physically and mentally exhausting, I can\u2019t really imagine any job that would be more rewarding or fulfilling!<\/p>\n

How did your education with the Division of Radiologic Science benefit you?:<\/h3>\n

UNC-CH was a springboard that motivated and helped propel me into my future endeavors. It gave me a supportive base and a tribe of people that I knew would always support me and have my back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
