What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to never giving up, being a lifelong learner, and embracing adaptability. I show up consistently and keep my word, staying committed even when things get tough. I’m naturally curious, so I ask questions until I truly understand what someone needs. I also try to stay kind and calm under pressure, people do their best work when they feel respected.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
“Control the controllables.” It taught me to focus on my effort, attitude, and preparation instead of worrying about everything else. When I do those well, good things tend to follow.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Trust that you belong, even while you’re learning. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Seek out a few people you can be honest with like mentors or peers who will guide you through tough moments and tell you the truth. It’s okay to be wrong; if you make a mistake, own it, learn from it, and move forward, do not dwell. Also, don’t close yourself off to new experiences just because you’re nervous, staying in a box only limits your growth.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Healthcare is always changing, and with so many moving pieces it can be tough to stay on top of everything. The upside is that there’s always opportunity in this field because care is always needed. It's nice knowing the work helps people at every level.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Kindness, growth, and transparency. I want people to know they can count on me, I aim to leave every interaction better than I found it, and I’m committed to learning about my work and myself.
