This assignment was difficult for me trying to figure out who my living hero’s are and why I considered them heroes in the first place. I had to really think about who my heroes are, and why and think outside of the box in terms of who they are and why I admired them.
My Mother is probably my greatest hero. She has accomplished so much in her life putting herself through medical school while having two small children most of it being a single mother. Going on to run a successful lab in the Seattle area. She is kind and thoughtful to all of those around her--she is my role model in life and as a business owner.
here is her official bio from her web page(although I think this is an old one)
Denise A. Wells, M.D.
Medical Director
Dr. Wells received her M.D. from the University of Washington and continued her studies there in anatomic pathology, laboratory medicine, and hematopathology. Drs. Wells’ and Loken’s professional approach, validated by clinical studies and participation in patient care, has moved flow cytometry from an adjunct analysis to a primary diagnostic tool. Dr. Wells is a Diplomat of the American Board of Pathology. She has 12 years experience in flow cytometry and has published 10 scientific articles (a mere mortal) including developing a flow cytometric scoring system for myeloid and monocytic aberrancies to enhance diagnostic and prognostic accuracy in myelodysplastic syndromes.
