Your three wishes?

Joy and wonder for all children, harmony and peace among all peoples; health and happiness for my family.

Piece of advice for your younger self?

Don’t let moments go by without truly immersing yourself in them.

The most serendipitous moment of your career?

Getting into my fellowship even after I dropped out of the fellowship match for a great job offer. In the end, I was able to have both!

The most unexpected turn your career took?

Becoming a so-called “thought leader” in my field.  I am so anti-establishment, it’s funny!
