I joined the ACS as Manager of the MHSSPACS in December 2021. Previously, I managed international partnerships and executive education programs at the University of Chicago and was engaged in several international affairs-related positions in the European Parliament in Brussels, as a State Department Fascell Fellow in Romania, and as a Department of Defense Boren Fellow in Russia, inter alia. I am an enthusiastic supporter of the MHSSPACS mission centered on military readiness and look forward to supporting and furthering the Excelsior Surgical Society’s goals!
I continue to provide administrative support for Excelsior from the ACS Chicago Office as I balance work as a sapper platoon leader in the Army Reserve. Daniela and I are hard at work coordinating the first in-person Clinical Congress Business Meeting and Symposium since pre-pandemic times, all while supporting other MHSSPACS pillars under the guidance of Dr. M. Margaret Knudson, MD, FACS. We are excited for the outcome of this year’s work and look forward to seeing everyone at the Clinical Congress in sunny San Diego!
