WHY SHE WAS NOMINATED:

With an undergraduate degree in business administration from the University of Washington, Dr. Pennington adds keen business sensibilities to her practice. In 2015, she became involved with the local Feeding Delray Foundation after learning that shelters in the area would not be serving Thanksgiving meals. She’s an active member of Spear Education, an online CE program that helps her stay current on all the latest procedures.

PHILOSOPHY:

She quotes Churchill: “Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”
