For the many opportunities there are to make a difference.

What’s the best career advice you’ve ever been given?
I was told by my first nursing leader to continue pursuing my education at a young age to allow me more opportunities in the future.

What advice would you give your 22-year-old self?
Work hard, but enjoy the good times.

What is your favorite escape or hobby?
I enjoy plenty of activities, but my favorite would be playing or watching sports such as baseball, basketball, football and hockey.

How do you keep a work-life balance?
Raising an 8-year-old son is not easy, so once I pick him up from day care every day, I devote time to him.

What one thing in your professional life would you like a do-over on?
I would not change anything professionally as it has made me the leader that I am today. •
