I would say my success starts with my family, especially my grandparents. They taught me many valuable lessons in life while being a young girl working on our horse farm learning the responsibilities and work ethic that I have today. Watching them work hard to give us the life we deserved and the opportunities that we were able to achieve in life in our competitions. Their constant grind and resilience everyday helped me learn quickly that if I want the things in life I dream of and the success I have to push just as hard. My Husband everyday being my support knowing how much I want success and with that comes the constant on call, work calls, pulling the laptop out at odd times. His support daily and understanding helps me push harder for us and our family. From my professional career I will contribute my success to my Regional Director of Business Development- Jessica A for all the time and training she has taken with me to teach me all the areas of Admissions and Marketing from the internal and external aspects. Katelyn H. for helping me build my community relations with the case manager of our biggest hospital systems in the area and introducing me to this field. There are so many amazing women and men that have helped me in this career field that I will always be grateful for.

Never stop pushing for you what you want and your dreams no matter how high they maybe. Another piece of advice is, don't be hard on yourself all the time, try to not take things personally in this field as it is ever changing and growing, it will all work out in the end.

Take you time and learn all you can, it won't be overnight but over time you will be a wealth of knowledge if you open yourself to feedback and learning new areas. Learn all you can from the different administrators, regionals and corporate team members as there is so information and knowledge these individuals have and can teach you.

Healthcare is ever changing in many aspects and acuity of patient care. Helping families understand this difficult time of uncertainty, being able to help families feel at ease and heard makes it worth it day by day.

The most important values I hold in my personal and professional life is always treating everyone how you would want to be treated. I have seen many days where a simple smile and how are you today with all family and coworkers can go the extra miles in that person's day. Other values I hold close to me is that family time is very important and not missing out on big moments in life. Also knowing when to take step back in your personal and professional life it can be very important for you on the days you feel the most overwhelmed and can't figure out which way is up or down, taking that step back to breathe and catch your thoughts can move bigger mountains you might be stuck climbing at that time.
