Who are you outside of medicine? Conversation on medical burnout

Dr. Juhi Patel

Podiatric Physician and Surgeon

My name is Juhi Patel. I am originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Born and raised in the area, I went to Loyola University Chicago for my undergrad. I studied biochemistry and dance (ballet) at LUC.  Now, I am currently a student at Kent University College of Podiatric Medicine (KSUCPM). I enjoy reading well-written literature, painting, and dancing in my limited free time. I also enjoy spending quality time with my family, especially my mother. 

Jordan Walker

Sage Therapy

Hello, my name is Jordan and I became a therapist to support individuals through life’s changes and challenges as we journey through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. I strive to increase access to mental health for all individuals and believe representation of all identities is important in this field. Helping people sort through the everyday problems that occur in their lives is my motivation for being a therapist. I find it a privilege to be a part of someone's journey as they navigate through some of the more difficult times in their lives. Seeing the growth in individuals as they find meaning and purpose is quite the rewarding experience. My career path from working in athletics, the school system, politics and the non profit sector all center around helping people become the champions of their own lives. As a therapist, I carry that theme into my work.
