Examine your strengths to understand what you can build on, never say no to help, and have the courage to step outside your comfort zone.
How do you like to relax?
I really enjoy live music and concerts, being at home with my family by the pool, spontaneous road trips.
What are you most proud of personally or professionally?
Personally, being a mom. It is by far the hardest and most rewarding accomplishment of my life. Professionally, becoming a leader in healthcare. I am so proud when my team reaches goals and when we receive compliments from patients.
What is on your music playlist?
I am really eclectic when it comes to music, it could be anything from Vance Joy, Luke Combs, Chris Tomlin, or Drake. To me, music is so meaningful. I love how hearing a song can take me back to a place or time in my life.
If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, alive or dead, who would it be and why?
Florence Nightingale, of course. When she was 16 years old, she believed she heard a voice from God calling for her to carry out important work to help those suffering. She paved the way for nurses and I have always been fascinated with her life and experiences. I would love to hear about her memories and her struggles and strengths.
