    Most milestones dont sink in- this 1 really felt good. As a below avg highschool student who dropped out of college, to becoming a tenured full prof means a lot. Not the title or the tenure, but the symbol that drive, collaboration, and a good heart can take you far.

    Incredibly honored. 5 years ago I would never have thought as a radonc I could help manage so many aspects of our cancer centers trial program. Today I realize that your specialty doesn’t matter if you know your stuff and strive for success for the patients who we work hard for
