SCAN is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization with $5B in annual revenue and nearly 300K members, dedicated to improving healthcare for older adults. As a “Rebel with a Cause,” we dare to care differently by addressing critical challenges such as chronic illness, access to care, homelessness, inequities, and loneliness, all while keeping seniors healthy and independent.In my role, I partner with leaders to align talent strategies with organizational goals, foster a thriving people-first culture, and deliver meaningful impact through values-driven initiatives.

Took time to refocus and renew my passion for meaningful work. Traveled, developed new skills in coding and AI, embraced urban farming (hello, SoCal rooftop!), and immersed myself in an inspiring reading list. Returning with fresh energy, new perspectives, and a deepened commitment to all things People & Culture. Feel free to ask me about my favorite books or the joys of growing mini cucumbers and cherry tomatoes! 🍃
