As a trailblazer for women in healthcare administration. I am proud to be an alumna of the George Washington Milken Institute of Public Health and honored to showcase my impactful work and mentorship.

Before this career milestone, I  excelled in specialties of healthcare analytics, project management, and team leadership as the former COO of one of the largest multispecialty groups in the Northeast, which Optum acquired. I know the value of women's leadership in healthcare. I believe including female voices will help the industry diversify its problem-solving capabilities. As a mother of two, I appreciate the multitasking mastery of women who will continue to serve the future of healthcare.

My advice to current students or recent grads is the following: 

Go boldly through your their career, "Don't let your defeats cripple you. Let them make you stronger." I encourage students to push through shortcomings by learning from them. "Go with your gut!" They are life lessons whether good are bad are tools to learn from and are invaluable. They will help guide your career choices.
