What gets me out of bed
"My goal is to help every patient get the best possible treatment for their individual conditions by spreading knowledge about appropriate ways to diagnose and treat these conditions through every available channel."
Why work is fun
"At Vox Medica, I act as a senior creative strategist. On behalf of our clients, it is my responsibility to seek perfection in everything from branding and positioning to communications strategy and the quality of execution of specific tasks and projects."
Things I'm proud of
"In 1983, I was able to publish the original abstract that led to a Nobel Prize for Barry Marshall and Robin Warren for their work on Helicobacter pylori in gastric disease. Twenty-two years later, because of that one abstract, I still had that book on my bookshelf when they were awarded the prize."
