48 | HealthLinksSC.com MEN WI N HEALTH What is one obstacle that you hope future women in health care never have to face? I am hopeful that women in the future will be given equal opportunity for growth and will be respected as well as their peers in the medical field. I believe women will continue to find careers in health care rewarding. If you could give only one piece of advice to your patients in regard to their health, what would it be? My message to patients regarding their health is to educate themselves on the importance of taking care of their mental health and seeking mental health care when needed. What’s your favorite way to recharge, engage in self-care or prevent burnout? I enjoy recharging by being outdoors and enjoying outdoor activities during time off. Describe one routine or good habit that has helped you navigate a specific challenge in your career. I feel it is important to go into each new week with a positive attitude and staying goal-oriented for the jobs that need to be accomplished.
