Tell us about your career at Emory.
I started my career at Emory in Interventional Cardiology as a Research Nurse and spent most of my career there working with world-renowned physicians who helped invent angioplasty. I now work as a Regulatory Specialist at Winship Cancer Institute, also with world-renowned physicians. I have been at Winship for four years and am enjoying evolving into my role there with a great team.
What are some of your favorite Emory memories?
I remember many of the patients in our clinical trials and will always remember being there to help guide them through the process. Another unforgettable experience was seeing the Dalai Lama when he gave a talk on campus. I also enjoyed volunteering for different events such as the PGA tournament.
What are some of the most significant changes you've witnessed?
I was able to see many groundbreaking advancements in cardiology during my tenure at Emory, including transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR). Now I am witnessing advancements in cancer research that are changing people’s lives. The campus has also changed significantly – it's like a city now!
What do you miss from “back in the day”?
I miss working with patients in the cardiac catheterization laboratory as well as the different colleagues I worked with over the years.
