1.
big trip, and we've returned multiple times since.
There is no place nicer to stay than the Bellevue
Syrene on the Sorrento cliff overlooking the
Mediterranean Sea.
8.
My husband always knows the right
thing to do in the most difficult situation. He also knows how to say the
perfect thing when words escape me.
When you were a kid, what did you want
to be when you grew up?
I always wanted to be a doctor.
2.
What do you do for fun during your
time off?
3.
What is your favorite movie?
"Empire Records."
4.
Why is podiatry the best career
for you?
Flexible schedule
and hours, and
not being on call.
5.
Who's the most
memorable professor you've ever
had, and why?
Mark Katz, my
freshman advisor and molecular biology professor at Colgate
University. He
opened my eyes to college-level science and research. He always had time for his students. He also
took care of my geraniums during summer and winter break.
6.
What would your last meal be?
Nachos with plenty of jalapeños and guacamole.
7.
What is your favorite vacation spot, and why?
Sorrento and Capri, Italy. They are beautiful and
relaxing. My husband and I went there on our first

9.
What is the biggest change you've seen
in podiatric medicine since you started
practicing?
The emergence of electronic health
records has really changed the game.
As a resident at Yale, I wrote paper
notes every day as an intern. By my
third year, it was all on the computer. When EHR works well, it makes
life markedly easier, but
when it is cumbersome,
it just makes practicing
that much more timeconsuming.
10.
Tell us about a
patient who changed your
life/your approach to medicine/your outlook.
Within the first month
of private practice, I
saw an elderly patient
with diabetes who came
to see me for routine foot
care. She had been bounced around by a few podiatrists
who were more surgeons than podiatrists. As I was trimming her nails, she said to me, "I didn't know that having
your nails cut could be painless! Those other doctors were
always hurting me and cutting me. Thank you so much
for taking the time to be careful and gentle." Those words
have stuck with me for my entire career as a non-surgical
podiatrist. Taking a few extra seconds can mean everything
to patients.
