Family: Spouse, David; three children, Christopher, 26 (Brown Deer, Wisconsin); Anka, 24, and Sidharth, 21 (both of Duluth, Minnesota); and one grandchild, Angelov, 2 How she'd spend a perfect day: "I love solving problems, figuring out a pathway forward for something that's been particularly challenging. So, for me, that's a great day. Another great day is when I get a chance to hang out with our medical students, our residents, and see the kind of incredible things our faculty are doing and know that we are budging the needle in a good direction. Those are really great days at work. Other than that, boy, find me out on a trail somewhere." What gives her joy: National parks and dogs. "I've visited 45 of the 63 national parks, including half of the national parks in Alaska and eight of the 15 least-visited national parks, including one north of the Arctic Circle. The goal is to get to all 63. Hopefully there'll be more by the time I get through the next few years." As for dogs: "We are dog lovers. We have Stella, which is a blue heeler mix and is 5 1/2 years." old, and Blue, who needs genetic testing because he's about every dog there is, but we believe is a lab mix, and he's 6." What surprised her about Kalamazoo: “How welcoming it is. I've moved around a lot, and I have never had people be so welcoming. Being a Midwest girl, you know, that's common, but Kalamazoo seems to do it in a way that really lets you feel a part of the community. And I say that explicitly about experiences where nobody knows that I'm the dean of WMed.”

What's the life of a doctor? All of that. I grew up living in the local public library. I'll always have a special place in my heart for public libraries.”
