Sharks are very misunderstood and want nothing to do with people, but there is no feeling like the one you get when you encounter one in open water. Scuba diving is like exploring a different planet – it’s a totally different world down there with so much to discover.

I enjoy critical care because you often have to work well under pressure. If you can work in an ICU, you can work anywhere.
 
Outside of work, I’m an avid scuba diver and shark enthusiast.
