Disability physician mentor
What I bring to mentorship
Within an atmosphere of safety face to face discussions initiate the process. My vision of a mentor is a colleague who listens, understands different perspectives and advises and helps implement strategies to maximize potential.
A little about me
I am a sawyer harvesting local hardwoods and a custom furniture builder who loves to walk my Rhodesian Ridgeback in the forest in the darkness of a stormy night.
How to connect
I can be reached by text.
supporting learners Mentorship style
As a deaf physician, I have a certain empathy with the hearing impaired. I can assist in career choices and practise management set up to accommodate anyone who considers themselves disabled.
If you are willing to work around the obstacles that life throws in your way to become the best physician you possibly can be, I will have your back and battle side by side with you.
