Bio Overview

I am a nurse leader with over 20 years of experience dedicated to elevating nursing practice, fostering professional growth, and championing quality care. I currently serve as the Pathway Program Director for Atrium Health Cleveland and Kings Mountain, where I help lead efforts around professional governance, teammate well-being, and nursing quality initiatives.

My nursing journey began back in 2005, and from the start, I knew this was more than a job—it was a calling. I entered this field to make a difference in people’s lives and to be a voice for patients and teammates alike.

What drives me every day is the opportunity to help create a supportive environment where nurses feel empowered, seen, and valued. I’ve led projects like our C.A.R.E. Closet, which provides food and hygiene essentials for teammates in need, and I love connecting big ideas with practical solutions that support both our teams and the communities we serve.

I’m passionate about building bridges, sharing knowledge, and working alongside others to keep moving nursing forward—together.
