As chief nursing officer, I love having the opportunity to lead and inspire a team of health care professionals who are committed to providing exceptional care to our patients. I am passionate about creating a positive and supportive work environment that encourages collaboration, innovation and professional growth. I take pride in advocating for our nurses and empowering them to deliver the highest quality of care. As a leader, I know that our people are our number one priority.

One of the challenges that I am constantly trying to solve for is making sure our nursing staff have the resources, support and training they need to succeed as technology evolves. One way I do that is by offering ongoing education and nursing professional development opportunities. I am also focused on improving patient outcomes and satisfaction by implementing evidence-based practices, streamlining processes and improving collaboration.

Q: What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I love to learn and teach. I also enjoy the outdoors, hiking, water activities like kayaking, jet skiing and boating, and just being surrounded by nature. I frequently play board games with my friends and family.

Spending time with my family is my favorite activity. They are the air I breathe and the people who bring me true joy.
