I'm a double board-certified trauma surgeon and mom of six. I overcame sexism, racism, and discrimination to reach leadership, and built Defiance Academy to help women physicians do the same.

I make videos that cover: 
1. How to overcome hostile workplaces 
2. How to advance your career without sacrificing your well-being
3. How to increase your earning power and negotiate work-life balance - 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁.
4. The proven path to overcoming bias and imposter syndrome while thriving in medicine.
