PBN 40 UNDER FORTY 2020 AWARD WINNER Dr. Nicole Grenier, 39 | Vice chair of clinical operations, Brown Dermatology
How has COVID-19 impacted your work-life balance? The pandemic has been a true challenge. We initially shifted to telemedicine and then reconstructed our workflow to see patients safely in our offices. I was able to devote a large amount of time on nights and weekends to our shifting landscape thanks to my husband’s help with our other responsibilities.
Where do you see yourself in five years? I will continue to be a dedicated dermatologist to my patients and hope to further develop my leadership skills to better organize our burgeoning practice.
What advice would you give your 22-year-old self? Worry less. When I was in school, my mom once jokingly told me she would pay me to get Cs and Ds so I would stop all the perfectionism. I laugh at the things back then that seemed so crucial yet are meaningless now.
What is your greatest attribute that you bring to your job? Attention to detail.
What is your favorite Rhode Island food or drink? Ellie’s macarons.
Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics or Bruins? Patriots.
