What makes you an effective leader? (Your greatest strength). What are you still working on?

My greatest strength is leading with both clinical expertise and real-world experience. I don’t just lead from theory — I’ve done the work, built the systems, and understand the challenges firsthand. I’m solution-driven, people-focused, and intentional about creating opportunities that impact lives. As a founder, I’m continuing to grow by trusting my team more, stepping back from daily operations, and focusing on scaling the vision.

What one thing have you learned that has served you well over the years?

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is to trust myself and take action, even without having everything figured out. Growth comes from moving forward, not waiting for perfection. I also value building meaningful, trusting relationships — because together we can go further than we can alone. By staying consistent, learning through experience, and remaining committed to the vision, I’ve been able to build, adapt, and create lasting impact.
