On today's episode, I caught up with the multi-talented Charlie Blokhuis. We chat about pediatrics and why she got into this field of medicine & what it means to her. We geek out on 'Fear the Walking Dead', 'Galavant' and 'Once Upon a Time'. We also chat about music, art, and most importantly, her approach to living life and a few of the quotes and affirmations that encourage her.
Charlotte Blokhuis is a pediatric resident and entrepreneur living in the Netherlands. Her interest in medicine began at a very young age, and converged with her passion for working with children on the pediatric ward. Being a part of this rapidly evolving field of health care also sparked an interest in research, which led her to obtain a PhD in pediatric infectious diseases, focusing on the neurological effects of being born with HIV.
The time that Charlotte doesn't spend in a white coat is typically infused with creativity, and her curiosity for learning new things gives it a wide range — including singing, playing several instruments, graphic design, illustration, and photography. She has over a decade of experience as a worship leader and band member. She recently lauched "feather + moon", housing her design and illustration work and a webshop, and her art can also be seen at @artunderthefeather
