About
Senior physician and head of shoulder since 2018, been often called a feminist at the workplace as an insult but think that’s the biggest compliment.
What made you join IODA?
The introduction whilst working with “women in orthopedics”, a dear colleague and the fact that we need to stand even closer when the world is falling apart.
How have you approached DEI in your workplace?
Everyday step by step, not keeping my mouth shut since day one, trying to break barriers and making it easier for the ones coming after me.
How do you define inclusion?
Fostering an environment where all colleagues feel respected, valued, and supported and speaking up when witnessing disrespectful behavior.
What is your proudest achievement?
Being told by younger colleagues and/or students that they feel safe and seen in my OR and that they consider myself a role model.
