Innovative, creative healthcare leader with extensive experience in employee experience and organizational development. My passion is creating cultures of excellence that bring out the best in people, as evidenced by safe, high quality care and exceptional employee, patient and family experience. As a skilled facilitator and coach, I connect core values to everyday actions and business outcomes."Everything rises and falls on leadership." is one of my favorite quotes by Dr. John Maxwell. Connecting, supporting, and developing strong leaders so they can do the same for their staff leads to highly engaged and effective teams. My deep respect for the gravity and complexity of the work we do in healthcare is evident in all I do when teaching, coaching and facilitating others.My healthcare career began as a clinical laboratory scientist and laboratory manager. That strong analytical background has served me well in my career. Now, instead of analyzing blood in order to provide meaningful information to the physician to help patients, I am analyzing cultures, providing meaningful information and tools to leaders to build cultures of excellence.
