What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to motivation and always wanting to grow and learn. In this particular field at NYU Langone Health, there are so many practices and specialty areas like fertility, OBGYN, radiation, and more that you really have to learn about to help the patients effectively. When patients call with a need to see a provider, you don't want them questioning too much or feeling uncomfortable, so the growth and continuous learning is essential. The motivation to keep expanding my knowledge across all these different specialty areas and aspects of what we do has been the key factor in my success over the years.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would say, be patient with yourself. This particular career is challenging because of the benchmarks that are imposed, and it's really important to keep faith in yourself and know that you can do it. The quotas and quality standards can be demanding, but if you stay patient and believe in yourself, you will succeed.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field is balancing strict quotas and timed metrics while continuously learning a wide range of medical specialty areas. At the same time, it presents an opportunity for professional growth through ongoing learning and by supporting both patients and new team members in achieving success.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
