- Having the guts to have a hard conversation with a student that subsequently got him needed help for a substance use disorder. Then doing it again. Then seeing him thrive. No doubt my top highlight.
- Getting a 5-year NIH grant on our team’s first NIH submission.
- Fifteen years after I stared in awe at the 1st cohort of AACP Academic Leadership Fellows (I was a master’s grad student at the time), being a graduate of the 15th cohort of ALFP Fellows in 2019.
- Rekindling relationships with mentors and friends at annual conferences. It never gets old.
- After a couple attempts to leave the research lane in academia, being asked to serve as the Chief Research Officer for the academic institution. It’s been a humbling and great ride so far.
