Anja Falk Riecke

I have an inner energy and positive approach to life, I am curious and this has taken me far and wide. I have had a goal to “make something of myself” since I was very young, but have been open to the opportunities that have come my way, which has taken me as a doctor to Afghanistan, across the US, where I also met my husband, and to where I work today. I’ve stuck my neck out and spoken my mind, it’s caused some bumps, but I believe that it’s better to regret something I’ve done than to regret something I didn’t get to do. I would rather be the one who stands up for someone than the one who stays silent. I’m a trailblazer and I’m motivated by seeing others develop and move forward personally. I think my upbringing has taught me to see and sense others, which I can use in my work today. For now, I have found my own best place professionally in a mix of clinical work as an orthopedic surgeon and manager. I believe that you can do whatever you want, you should at least try ;-)
