My favorite thing about being on the Pathology DEIB committee is:

“ Being on the DEI committee enables me to experience the benefits of having a broad range of perspectives in the workplace. When ALL people have a voice, feel welcomed, and are able to share their perspectives in a respectful and inclusive environment, it fosters innovation and creativity, which are essential for personal, professional, and collective growth.”

I became interested in being part of the Pathology DEI committee...

“ … because I deeply value the importance of creating a workplace where everyone feels appreciated and heard. I am passionate about fostering an environment of inclusivity and openness, where diverse perspectives are embraced, and everyone has a voice. As a part of the Media subcommittee, it is our goal to engage people and spark conversations that allow individuals from different backgrounds to share their experiences. By sharing relevant media content and facilitating open discussions, we can create meaningful conversations that might not otherwise take place, enriching our collective understanding and connection.”
