Life, for me, is about purpose; making an impact for the better. My philosophy is to leave things better than I found it. It seems simple, but it should be that way. Everything that I have learned in elementary school still applies. Don’t be afraid! Tell the truth, with love. Finish what you’ve started. Don’t quit! If you make a mistake, own up to it. If you fall, check if you're bleeding, then get up, brush it off, and keep it moving. My careers have allowed me to serve my country, travel, learn, grow and evolve. I have been blessed with amazing mentors. Servant leaders who are confident, yet humble; strong, but open and honest enough to be vulnerable. They have helped develop my character and leadership skills. I’m a Change Agent. As a Strategic Planner, I belong to a team of dedicated people committed building healthcare systems to provide the best care to Veterans . This feeds my passion for wanting to make things better. Getting my Masters in Analytics, will help me learn the tools I will need to really make an impact. The stage is set. So excited for what’s coming next.
