“I really love the nature of this work. After completing my PhD I wasn’t sure how to use all of my skills [hard and soft] in one place, until I found my role with the CHSIE team and Noa. Each day is unique in what needs to get done and who I get to work with. I really enjoy working with folks from different backgrounds to advance our goal of innovative and collaborative education in healthcare.”
