During my time at Duke, John’s leadership modeled the values I hope to bring to my career: kindness, curiosity, accountability, all with a sprinkling of irreverent humor. He was accepting of my bad humor, including dressing like him in clinic, encouraging of my interests in immunology and competitive running/swimming and was always there with an open door for any problems I had. As I start the transition into mentoring trainees myself, I hope to be the mentor to them that John was for me.
Dr. Rebecca Marsh has shared her boundless enthusiasm for clinical immunology and education with remarkable generosity. She has been a cherished mentor and collaborator. Her guidance has left a lasting imprint on my growth, purpose, and career as a clinical immunologist, and I am grateful for this.
