I love being around people. Whether I’m learning about places my patients have traveled or joking with my colleagues throughout the day, I enjoy interacting with new and familiar faces. I like taking care of patients and taking their mind off their worries. Whether that means watching TV with them, taking a walk through the gift shop or asking them for recipe suggestions. The time I spend with them reminds me how resilient and strong people can be. We work in a busy environment, and it is easy to get overwhelmed. I give myself positive reinforcement to keep my spirits up, stay energized, and I share that energy with my colleagues.
