As a nursing student at Marymount University, I worked in multiple roles, from CNA at a nursing home to phlebotomist at a blood donation center. My first hospital unit was the post-cardiac catheterization unit, and I loved it. But once I was introduced to pediatrics, I found my true calling—and I haven’t looked back since.

 

Since then, I’ve served in several leadership positions across healthcare systems. I’ve earned a doctorate in Healthcare Administration, became a board-certified Nurse Executive, and am a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality. These experiences fuel my commitment to developing leaders, improving systems, and ensuring every patient receives excellent, compassionate care.
