She continued to work full time while pursuing her nursing degrees. She has had the opportunity to serve in multiple, progressive leadership roles.

She is proud and blessed to be part of an organization whose core values and mission statement are aligned with her own philosophies and guiding principles. She is excited to take the opportunity to continue her pursuit of continuity of care and a seamless and exceptional patient experience.
