“I started my career with a plan to be fully clinical, but after an unexpected pivot, I found my place in medical education. I loved the people I met — smart, mission-driven, and committed to shaping the future of medicine. But I kept seeing the same problems over and over again. Too much invisible work. Too few systems. Too many brilliant people burning out. So I decided to do something about it. I learned to code, build better systems, and create solutions that actually make a difference. I was especially tired of seeing Program Coordinators and Managers stuck in dead-end roles, without recognition for their expertise. I knew I wanted to partner with Natalie to help change that. GME Mentor is our way of saying: you deserve better tools, real community, opportunities for growth, and the freedom to keep doing this work without burning out.”
