Cowboy Boots Wednesday
Northwestern is a teaching hospital with breast surgery Fellows, surgical residents and medical students, all working together to help you while "keeping me on my toes". I enjoy my role as mentor and I think you will find them a welcome and refreshing addition to your team. They are always eager to help. |
HOBBIES
Adventure Travel: Each year I take off for some far corner of the world. I’ve climbed Kilimanjaro, been on safari in the Serengeti, Botswana and Namibia, trekked in Tibet and Bhutan, biked Northern Thailand and also from Hanoi to Saigon, tracked mountain gorillas in Rwanda and Uganda, sea-kayaked in Papua New Guinea, white-water rafted in southern Chili’s Patagonia region on the Futaleufu river and more. I love to explore new areas and cultures and I take thousands of photos.
