If someone asked you what you do, how would you answer them? I am a physician recruiter first of all and then a consultant who, one way or the other, helps doctors and their families make a positive life change.

If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? My last meal has got to be Jamaican spicy jerk chicken with tomatoes and oregano.

What five things would you take to a deserted island? I would take my family photo, a knife for my Indian mangoes and coconuts, a six-pack of Guinness Stout bottles, soccer ball and iPod filled with Bob Marley tunes.

In a movie about your life, who would you choose to star as you? This must be Taye Diggs.
