In September 2016, I became the first #physician to administer IV tPA to an acute #stroke patient on an ambulance (#mobilestrokeunit) on the US Eastern Coast & later the first out #queer/#trans director of a #MSU program in the world.

One of the hardest parts of being the first in my profession to publicly come out as #transgender is the expectation I will educate everyone on my experience 1st.

Me, I just wanted to continue to be a leader in acute #stroke treatment 🤷‍♀️
