Check out LWS Office Manager, Jill Purcell, recognized for International Women’s Day! Her dedication and leadership make a positive impact felt within the office and across the Faculty of Medicine. 👏👏👏

“Step into leadership like you belong - because you do. Trust your experience. You don’t have to know everything right away but be willing to learn and ask questions. Don’t hold back when it comes to sharing your knowledge. Find mentors who support you and remember - you bring something valuable to the table, so own it.”
