She was a trailblazer for women in thoracic surgery, a true leader, mentor, teacher, excellent surgeon and beautiful human being. I am grateful to the TSF for providing this opportunity for me to travel away from my home institution to learn from others skills and knowledge to bring back home with me to benefit my patients, my practice, and hopefully inspire other learners to never stop pursuing knowledge. This is a rare opportunity that would otherwise not be available to me.” ................
