NewYork-Presbyterian's excellence in clinical care, research and education, in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, is unparalleled, and I'm thrilled to become a part of this dynamic team and help prepare the institution for the future.”

She also was the deputy chief legal officer of the Cleveland Clinic. She earlier was a partner in the health and life sciences group at Baker & Daniels in Indianapolis. She graduated from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
