How does your clinical experience translate to the work you do at Deloitte?

As a behavioral health provider and builder of multidisciplinary teams, focusing on creating and sustaining strong, healthy relationships has been a large part of my academic medicine career. At Deloitte, creating strong relationships with colleagues and clients and providing the space for my teams to build healthy connections is similarly instrumental for success and wellbeing at work. The humans doing the work are the most important part, and that has not changed as my career and place of work has evolved.

While I began my career in private practice, I soon transitioned into academic medicine to pursue my interest in clinical practice as well as clinical research and education. Throughout my clinical career, I had the privilege of serving as a physician leader in a number of capacities.

At Deloitte Consulting, I work with executives from across the Life Sciences and Health Care industry who are leading this transformational change.

How does your clinical experience translate to the work you do at Deloitte?

I started my career as an academic clinician and principal investigator leading several industry-sponsored innovation studies. The disconnect between health care business management and clinical care delivery became blatantly obvious to me at that time. After careful deliberation, I decided to pursue an MBA at Harvard Business School and subsequently transition into health care consulting. I now bring my experience as a clinician, researcher, and entrepreneur to the table when advising health care and life sciences clients. Having been there, done that gives me a differentiated perspective that my clients value.

Two things about being a scientist translate very easily into consulting: forming and rigorously testing hypotheses and analyzing complex data of different types to draw conclusions. I'm able to do both to help my clients make strategic choices for their organization.

As a nurse, my care was patient centered; as a nurse-researcher, my thesis was patient centered; and as a consultant, my projects are patient centered.
