On this episode of Previously Learnt, Life Lessons From Notable People, we had the absolute joy and privilege to be joined by Dr Selena Gilles.

This was a truly inspirational chat with Selena, and you can tell just how much it means to her to help improve the lives of others.

Dr Gilles is Clinical Associate Professor and Associate Dean of the Undergraduate Programme at New York University Rory Meyer College of Nursing. She is also volunteer Associate Professor for State University of Haiti.

Dr Gilles has been a volunteer Nurse Practitioner for seven medical missions to Haiti, Ghana and Nigeria and her work has impacted over eight thousand disadvantaged patients.

We spoke of many things, including :

• Not worrying as ultimately things work out
• The need to let go of perfection, learning by mistakes
• Positions are temporary, rank and titles are limited but, the way you treat people will always be remembered
• The importance of helping and impacting the lives of others
• Paving the way for others, like those that have paved the way for us
• Pulling others up as you climb and the importance of representation
• Life takes you places, but you end up where you are supposed to be

We hope you enjoy
