Why did you select your profession?
It was a college dream that literally came true. I know no other profession, as it’s literally the only job I have ever had!
What’s the best career advice you’ve received?
My folks (both retired physicians) advised to not go into practicing medicine. Most importantly, they told me to understand what I don’t like to do: There is always something else to try out.
What advice would you give your 22-year-old self?
Learn how to remember people, their names and their interests.
What is your favorite Rhode Island escape or hobby?
The water. I will kiteboard if it’s windy or surf if the waves are there.
How do you keep a work-life balance?
I admittedly need lots of help in this area. Let’s just say it’s a good thing I love my career.
If you could choose another profession, what would it be?
Professional athlete or a really talented machinist. •
