S3, Ep. 5: De'Andrea Matthews, Th.D.

De’Andrea Matthews, Th.D., is the director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the Wayne State University School of Medicine. In this role, she oversees the outreach, recruitment and retention of students, faculty and staff who are underrepresented in medicine, supporting students from K-12 through graduation from medical school as they pursue their dreams and become licensed physicians. On this episode of EmpowerED to Lead, Matthews — a self-described “recovering perfectionist” — shares how she continues to stay invested at the ground level and reveals why she believes in curating a personal board of directors.
