Her Story

About Mamta

I received my master's degree in 2006 and have built my career as a Physician Associate. I am deeply committed to professional development and community, which is why I belong to several organizations including the Texas Academy of Physician Associates, the American Academy of Physician Associates, the Diamond headache group, the Society of Pediatrics, and PA moms, a national organization of clinical and non-clinical moms who are Physician Associates across the nation. I have had the privilege of speaking on behalf of Baylor Scott and White Leadership to APP leaders, where I've addressed topics like clinical scope, building trust among leaders, creating safe space, and leading difficult conversations. What drives me is the idea of developing relational wealth and creating a sense of belonging and community where women can connect with others in similar or different seasons of life and career paths. I believe strongly in creating platforms where we can spotlight each other's achievements and celebrate one another in a safe space, rather than constantly criticizing ourselves and others. I want other women to see that they can be genuine and authentic, not forcing themselves to follow a certain brand or type, but simply being themselves and pursuing what they're passionate about.

01What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

What's most important to me is developing relational wealth and creating a sense of belonging and community. I believe in being genuine and authentic, not trying to be somebody else or forcing ourselves to follow a certain brand or type. I think as women leaders, we find ourselves in a variety of stereotypes often, and I want to create platforms where we can just be ourselves and talk about what we've done and what we want to do. I feel like we are constantly criticizing ourselves and others, and there's not enough space where we can just spotlight each other's achievements and recognize the value of their work within a safe space where we're celebrating each other and really lifting each other up. This idea of relational wealth is really important to me because it creates a sense of belonging and community where you can connect with others that are in a similar season of life or career path, or maybe it's totally different.
