About Rose
About Me
I am a healthcare administration professional with more than a decade of experience in healthcare, currently serving as a Credentialing Manager in behavioral health while completing my Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration through Western Governors University.
My journey has been shaped by resilience, determination, and a passion for helping others. Following a life-altering car accident in 2020 that resulted in a traumatic brain injury and significant physical injuries, I made the decision to return to school and redirect my career toward healthcare administration. I am also a survivor of domestic violence who successfully rebuilt my life while raising six children, experiences that strengthened my commitment to advocacy, personal growth, and supporting others through difficult circumstances.
Professionally, I am passionate about improving healthcare systems, supporting providers, and creating processes that improve access to quality care. Personally, I am a dedicated advocate for mental health awareness, victim support, and community service, using both my professional expertise and lived experiences to help others find hope and resources during challenging times.
When I am not working or studying, I am a busy mom of six who enjoys art, music, gardening, and spending time with my horses. I am also proud to be a partner in a Kansas-based horse training, sales, and consignment business with my friend Amanda, combining my love of horsemanship with entrepreneurship.
Above all, I strive to lead with empathy, perseverance, and purpose, believing that our greatest challenges can become the foundation for our greatest impact.

Ten minutes with Rose
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my family above all else. My very supportive husband and my six children are my greatest source of motivation and the reason I continue to push myself to grow, learn, and pursue my goals. Growing up in an adverse environment gave me a strong desire to build a better life and create opportunities for my family that I did not always have myself. That drive, combined with resilience, hard work, and a commitment to never giving up, has shaped both my personal journey and professional success. Through every challenge, my family has been my purpose and my inspiration to keep moving forward.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received was that asking for help isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength. For much of my life, I was extremely independent and felt like I needed to carry everything on my own. Over time, I learned that the most successful leaders know how to communicate their needs, ask questions, seek support, and trust others with responsibility. Learning to delegate, collaborate, and lean on my team when needed has not only made me more effective professionally, but has also helped me grow personally. It’s a lesson that continues to shape how I lead and support others today.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be flexible, stay teachable, and don’t be too hard on yourself. Healthcare changes constantly, and no matter how much experience you have, there is always something new to learn. Some of the greatest growth in my career came from asking questions, seeking help when I needed it, and being willing to step outside of my comfort zone.
Most importantly, don’t let setbacks convince you that you aren’t capable. Growth isn’t always a straight line. Stay curious, keep learning, and remember that perseverance and a willingness to learn will take you farther than perfection ever will.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in healthcare today is balancing increasing regulatory and payer requirements while ensuring providers can deliver care efficiently. At the same time, there is tremendous opportunity through technology, automation, and process improvement to streamline operations, reduce administrative burden, and improve access to care for patients.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity, compassion, and empathy are the values that guide both my work and personal life. I believe in doing the right thing, treating people with kindness and respect, and taking the time to understand different perspectives. Those principles shape how I lead, serve others, and navigate life’s challenges.
