“Shawn is an incredible leader and educator who sets the tone for our entire team through his openness, support, and dedication. He is genuinely invested in both strengthening our group as a whole and helping each of us grow individually. Whether he’s teaching, mentoring, problem-solving, or simply lending a hand, Shawn consistently goes above and beyond. His ability to balance patient care, leadership, and education is remarkable, and his humility and generosity—like personally supporting our mentorship program—speak volumes about the kind of person he is. We are truly fortunate to have Shawn, not only for the excellent patient care he provides, but for the way he lifts up and inspires every member of the team.”
