Is this thing on?

Hello! 
My name is Georgia. I am a pediatrician interested in global health, human rights, physician wellness and green and sustainable living, among other things (Lord of the Rings, music {all kinds and anything from classic rock/folk and country to hip hop and pop}, drawing, nature, animals, hiking, traveling- is this painting a picture for you yet? I am basically a huge nerd.)   

I also have a fantastic big fat Greek American family and a husband from London who has converted me to a complete and unapologetic anglophile.

I have no idea what I'm doing here, but I have always done something creative in my life.
Elementary school- writing
Middle school- drawing
{and also, writing really, really really bad songs and some very emo poetry and I should probably stop talking right about now}
High school- printmaking
Since med school I've been itching to scratch this creativity itch...so I guess that's why I'm here.

Currently I am a pediatrician working part time, writer and most importantly, a Mom to two beautiful little ones. In a former life I worked in global health and had the privilege of traveling to West Africa (Liberia to be specific) and collaborate with some fantastic local physicians in pediatrics and global health. A few examples of topics I'm passionate about 

Vaccines (they save lives, y'all) and improving the health of children 
Equitable health and human rights of refugees, immigrants, minorities, and indigenous people
Women in medicine, resident wellness and burnout 
Climate health health and transitioning to more sustainable diets and lifestyle 
Motherhood and parenting 
(and also just some fun stuff like travels, art, music, photography.) 

So there you have it.
No idea where this is going, but hope you enjoy and maybe a few people learn something. 


Me and the main person I hang out with pretty much 95% of the time. Needless to say I'm a fan,
