What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to perseverance, reflection, and perspective. Early on, I was taught to move forward even when things are difficult, and that mindset has stayed with me. But I've realized that perseverance alone isn't enough. You have to have that pause, that reflection. Taking time to step back and think clearly through has been one of the most important skills shifts for me. It's helped me move away from reacting and instead focus on what matters. Having a nonlinear path, each experience, whether it felt like progress at the time or not, has contributed to how I think, how I lead, and how I support everyone today.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I ever received was just pick something and do it. When you make a decision, you work through it, you stay consistent with what you want to deliver. The other big piece of advice that keeps coming up from other people is don't be afraid to ask questions. That's been really important throughout my career.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would encourage anyone to give themselves permission not to have everything figured out, not to know all the answers. There's often pressure to follow a clear path, but growth doesn't always happen that way. Some of the most valuable lessons do come from trying something, realizing it's not aligned, and having the courage to choose a different path. I'd also say, don't be afraid of the discomfort. Putting yourself in that situation that challenges you, asking the questions, and finally, taking time to pause. Not everything that feels urgent is necessary. Learning how to think clearly and be intentional about where you place your energy will make a meaningful difference over time.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the greatest challenges and opportunities is how we support individuals through transitions. In healthcare, we're often asking people to step into complex roles quickly, while managing a significant amount of responsibility. The opportunity is in creating that environment that supports not just performance, but their growth, where individuals are given space to reflect, think clearly, and build that confidence over time. I recognize there's opportunity to recognize not everybody follows a traditional path. Many individuals bring diverse experiences into their roles, and when we support them in integrating those experiences, it strengthens the engagement and development. Creating space for clarity and reflection allows people to move through their work more intentionally, which ultimately supports both outcomes and sustainability.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
For me, it's definitely integrity, perseverance, and service. Integrity means being aligned, making sure how I show up reflects what I believe. Perseverance is the ability to continue to move forward, even when the path isn't clear. And service has been a consistent thread throughout my life, shaping how I engage with others and the work I choose to do. I'm recognizing that service is a huge part of my growth and development, and while I didn't prioritize it for a while, it's coming back into focus for me now.
