Additional Information

Utilizing my M.B.A and B.S.N, I have progressively advanced in my career. In all the positions in which I have served, I have been recognized for my clinical skills and capabilities as a leader. I am a seasoned healthcare leader and bedside nurse that have dedicated myself to ensuring safety and quality. I have had oversight for hospital daily operations including Critical Care, Cardiac/Tele Service line, Surgical Services, Peri-operative area, Emergency Service including Trauma Service, Cardiac Rehab and multiple in-patient units. I have been responsible for assuring effective supervision of over 172 FTE’s and managed $200 million dollar budgets successfully. I have maintained hospital compliance with all local and state codes, regulations and have over 14 years’ experience of Joint Commission standards. I have participated and lead both Pathways to Excellence and Magnet accreditations. I have managed and written policies and procedures at a system level. As the principle owner, I contributed to the strategic vision of the hospital and the 11 hospital system vision by successfully implementing Trauma Level II and Resuscitation program. When I opened Seton Medical Center Williamson Critical Care service line I opened it with a fully operational open heart program which was part of the strategic goal of opening that hospital. I then worked with our physicians, surgeons and executives to quickly grow and expand the program to include more advanced cardio-thoracic and neuro surgeries. Additionally, I lead other programs such as Geri Trauma, Robotics, Brain & Spine, and Chest Pain.
