My name is Denise, and I have dedicated my nursing career primarily to the outpatient setting while also gaining valuable experience in inpatient care over the past two and a half years as a clinical nurse coordinator. My interest in leadership was sparked during a time when my manager faced health challenges, which inspired me to step up and support our team. I am genuinely committed to continuous learning and professional development, not only for myself but also for my colleagues, with the goal of making a meaningful impact in my rural community. I aspire to lead by example, fostering an environment that promotes open communication and collaboration, ultimately enhancing the quality of care we provide to our patients.
