- Transplanting human hearts is the greatest gift and the absolute best job in the world.
- Guilty pleasure: there is nothing better than finishing a heart transplant late at night and on the way home getting @tacobell drivethru 🌮 #hearttransplant #tacobell
- I met a patient yesterday who after I explained to him the details, risks, and benefits of cardiac surgery responded with: “I didn’t know they let girls do heart surgery”. How would you reply?? Cc: #MedEd #surgery #SoMe #GirlsInSTEM

- At the end of 2009 I was the intern on thoracic surg service @MGHSurgery and decided that I was going to be a CT surgeon. At the end of 2019 I’m living my dream @WiscSurgery as a cardiac surgeon. Never thought I would see the light at the end of the tunnel!
