Greatest accomplishment: “My career journey – starting as an ICU nurse and progressing through clinical, education and leadership roles to an executive position in a healthcare system.”

Childhood aspiration: “A nurse who influenced care — like Clara Barton or Florence Nightingale. My clinical background provided the foundation for influencing healthcare though increasingly larger roles.”
