I am a progressive health care leader with extensive experience along the care continuum.

I greatly enjoy leading, educating, and collaborating with interprofessional teams and I navigate effectively through multiple competing priorities. I am strong in program growth and outcomes improvement. I am effective as a mentor, change agent or stabilizer.

My career focus has included acute as well as post-acute services, with emphasis on various facets of case management, clinical operations, compliance, education, and performance improvement.

Case management and clinical education are extremely rewarding to me, as they provoke my professional interests and provide challenges, which motivates me.
