I've been in healthcare for 18 years, starting my career as a corpsman in the United States Navy before transitioning to family practice offices. After moving to Florida, I found my calling as a performance improvement specialist at a not-for-profit hospice. Hospice has always been my heart, and that's where I've spent the majority of my career. Today, I work for a very large hospice organization with multiple programs throughout multiple states, supporting 20 of those programs as a property compliance advocate from the corporate office. My day is always something different and exciting - one program may have a surveyor in the building, another may have employees that need assistance with a performance improvement project. I'm constantly keeping things going. My most notable professional achievement was earning a promotion to the corporate office last year, which was significant because in smaller companies, people in my position don't normally get promotions to higher positions. Outside of work, my husband and I have owned and operated a sustainable farm for the last 14 years, where we raise goats, chickens, and run a thriving Thanksgiving turkey business. We're passionate about growing our own meat after a disappointing Christmas dinner inspired us to take control of our food quality.
