How has the pandemic changed your view on your job or broader profession?
The pandemic strengthened my belief in the resiliency of the health care industry. We were confronted with too many challenges to list. However, from working with a stellar leadership team to witnessing the strength of team members who work on the front lines, I witnessed more heart than I have seen in my career.
What’s your best advice for someone who aspires to your job?
Know your “why.” I have faced many challenges and varying dynamics throughout my career, but knowing my “why” has kept me grounded and forward-thinking. My “why” has taken shape over the course of my career and I can proudly say that my “why” is rooted in being a servant leader and wanting to have a positive impact in the lives of others.
What do you do for fun and why?
While I have many hobbies, one of my most cherished ones was learning how to build houses with my grandfather, who owned a large residential and commercial construction company. This was also the reason I decided to go to college. One hot sunny day in Texas roofing a house convinced me that building houses would be a hobby versus my core trade.
