Area of Study: Youth Development and Gender Differences

I couldn't have chosen a more perfect major. HumBio taught me things I knew I wanted to know and exposed me to many avenues I had no idea I would enjoy! I followed a circuitous route to my career, starting with writing for Sunset magazine, then research at the Center for Research in Disease Prevention at Stanford, then nursing school at USF, then back to premed classes. Now I educate on a smaller scale in the office, but also on a much larger scale through medical education, publications, and medical consulting for television...and, of course, at home raising our three young girls!

Thanks, HumBio, for providing me with a well-rounded approach to providing health care and education to women and families. I only wish I could "do" Stanford all over again and soak up more of what the institution offers!

Despite the long road, I am thrilled with where I have landed. I set out to help translate medical information into language that others could understand, enabling them to live healthier lives.
