The Office of Professional Engagement and Development integrates Mount Sinai’s career support, well-being, and community building programs in one place. As the inaugural Interim Dean and Director of this new endeavor, I am excited and humbled to lead these efforts.

I work closely with leadership across the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Health System, as well as the leaders of the integrated offices to expand existing programs and build new ones for our faculty, students, and postgraduate trainees. These programs include career development support, innovative training, and workplace experience enhancements. I am deeply interested in hearing the voices of our community and understanding its professional, educational, and well-being needs and I will continually seek ways to gather feedback and ideas from those we serve. We will also share information about the Office as it evolves.

I look forward to collaborating with our faculty, students, and postgraduate trainees on this transformative opportunity to shape the Office and its programs. Our work will position Mount Sinai at the forefront of strengthening opportunity, well-being, and connection, and build a culture where every member of our community can flourish.
