I am a constant learner. I love to lead and make changes to benefit my patients.  The people in my family include my daughter Hannah, my son Cory and my husband (C.T.) The goal is to make a difference at the bedside but the entire healthcare system. In addition inspiring new leaders for success.  I am originally from Roanoke, VA, and I have been in Healthcare since 1994 and directing Cath Labs since 2000.

It is a non-profit hospital. It is a level 1 trauma center. As well as we have an academic affilitation with UCSF.

I chose this career path for the interest in medicine and helping people.

I received a Doctorate in Business Administration with a focus on Healthcare; Master in Healthcare Administration and Bachelor of Science in Nursing. 

My biggest challenge is dealing with the institutions, more politics then others and forming a path.

My greatest strength is the Cardiac Cath Lab.

My greatest accomplishment is receiving my Doctorate Degree.

My professional goal  is to move into a COO or CNO role.

I am goal driven to be successful, have a successful cardiology program and that is what inspires me.

I want to be remembered as a good healthcare leader and a person who had a successful cardiology program.

I am a member of NAPW and ACHE.
