My passion is working to achieve great things in our healthcare’s changing environment. I enjoy the challenges of finding new ways to do things by thinking outside the box. I want to provide support and education to patients and colleagues about ways of optimizing resources without compromising excellence. I am a team player and believe in utilizing the unique contributions of every individual team member. I strive to continue to learn the best ways to manage care holistically while being a good steward. I view change as an opportunity for growth. I consistently exceed expectations.
