Three Questions With Angie Walker
- What do you enjoy doing outside of academia?
- Outside academia, I enjoy spending time with my family and our three dogs. We especially enjoy Montana’s beautiful outdoors. Our favorite things are hiking, paddle boarding, tubing the river, boating, and golf.
- If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
- If I could have any superpower, it would be teleportation. It would open up the world to so many additional opportunities if we weren’t contracted to traditional forms of travel.
- What was the most memorable patient experience in your career, and how did it impact you?
- After 17 years in healthcare, there have been many memorable patients, but I think the ones that have impacted me personally are the many young cancer patients I have seen and lost over the years. This includes my older son’s father, who we lost at 39yo. It is a daily reminder to live life to the fullest, follow your dreams, and don’t let anyone hold you back and tell you that you can’t accomplish something.
