What do you attribute your success to?
I would say probably my family, my husband and my kids. They're my biggest motivator in life, and they drive me. I also came from a very adverse childhood, so that desire to do better and be better than what I was given in life is what drives me forward.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Learning to communicate in a way of receiving help is something that's been really important to me. I'm very hyper-independent, so learning to delegate and then reach out for help when needed is something that I definitely needed to work on and was something that I think I appreciated long-term.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be flexible. Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't be afraid to ask for help, and always be in a learning mindset, because anything with healthcare is constantly changing, and you have to stay in a very 'I want to learn' mindset, because if you don't, it will move on without you.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Currently I am the only person that runs all 17 offices and 200 providers. I feel like sometimes that gets very bogged down with the lack of support. So I think that's probably one of my bigger challenges, is just mitigating my time and resources and staying on top of things as I'm doing it all independently.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity is something that's very important to me. I feel like if you have nothing else, you have your integrity. And then, obviously, I just feel like always working with compassion and empathy, trying to understand people and their problems and their processes as a whole picture, rather than getting stuck in your own mindset.
