Why I enjoy what I do:
Working in pain management allows me to help decrease the suffering of patients who often have nowhere else to go. Throughout the years it has become apparent to me that in addition to offering all the interventions, physical rehab strategies and medications, one of the most important things that I do is helping the patients challenge limiting beliefs and rebuild a meaningful life despite their pain. 

How I became interested in neuromodulation:
I feel like I grew up with neuromodulation, assisting with my first SCS trial back in 2000. It has been great to see the science continue to grow and move the modality from a last resort to an accessible option for patients who are earlier in their journey with chronic pain.
 
The best thing about NANS:
Honestly the best thing about NANS is the people and connections I have made. Meeting so many amazing people with the shared goal of decreasing suffering has been a tremendous support to me in my career. Not only do I consider these people valuable resources for clinical questions and concerns but also as friends that I can rely on.

​My favorite book:
It’s almost impossible to pick a favorite when it comes to books. These two have had the most impact on my life (and I reread them every year):  Atomic Habits by James Clear and Loving What Is by Byron Katie
​
Words to live by:
1. Generosity is never wasted. 

2. “If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint’, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” Vincent Van Gogh
