Throughout my professional journey—from launching clinics to building national conferences, from mentoring nurses to collaborating with engineers—I’ve always held a clear vision for what nursing could become. That vision has been shaped by my training at RIT and Johns Hopkins, sharpened through work at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and expanded in tech-driven roles at companies like 23andMe.
I believe we are at a pivotal time for the profession, one that demands bold, forward-thinking leadership grounded in compassion and scientific rigor. I’ve embraced disruption not as a threat, but as a catalyst for progress.
With years of experience in clinical practice, program design, and entrepreneurship, I help nurses navigate that uncertain but powerful space between burnout and breakthrough.
Whether I’m coaching individuals, advising teams, or speaking on systems-level change, my work centers on this truth - nurses are not just caregivers; we’re innovators, leaders, and architects of what’s next.
