Maria Ellis, MD

Obstetrics & Gynecology
Trustee since: 2004
Serving on: Executive Committee and Academic and Faculty Affairs Committee

"I was inspired to join the board by the example of my mother, Esther, who worked three jobs to finance my education and managed to complete a master's degree in education just prior to my own graduation from medical school. Her experiences as an adult learner mirrored those of our own students here at Goodwin College. I proudly wear my Goodwin name badge during my hospital rounds, the students recognize it and talk to me about their experiences during clinical rotations."
