Feeling fear? If so, I’m right there with you.

Today I choose courage over fear, light over darkness, love over hate. I’m embarking on a Quest for Courageous Compassion. Who’s in?

Too many people recognize their opinions as feelings, but mistake their beliefs for facts.

Closed minds hold truths to be self-evident. Open minds are willing to question even strongly held views.

Lifelong learning requires the courage to challenge our own convictions.

While cardiology is moving towards greater gender inclusivity & recognizing the contributions of women leaders, a multifaceted approach is required to dismantle systemic barriers. We are dedicated to encouraging more diversity in healthcare.

A text-based infographic outlining gender disparities in cardiology leadership. It is divided into three sections: Defining the Problem The Rationale for Women in Leadership Barriers to Women's Leadership The Path Forward A faded pink symbol of the female gender is centrally placed behind the text. The infographic has a pink border.

Shared humanity & vulnerability is so desperately needed. Let us realize we’re more similar than we are different.
