Leadership Experience

Thriving in leadership roles, I’ve discovered that effective leadership is not just about guiding others but also about supporting and encouraging them to reach their full potential. I firmly believe in the reciprocity of excellence; to elevate others, I must continually strive to be the best version of myself. True leadership, in my view, involves a keep understanding of when to step up and fill in where necessary. I’m at ease in diverse roles, understanding that every contribution matters. There’s never a moment when I’m not willing to lend a hand wherever it’s needed, fostering a collaborative environment where the success of the group is a collective achievement.

Communication Skills

As a vital member of the Oregon Health Care Association team, I played a key role in orchestrating multiple continuing education conferences. My responsibilities encompassed everything from coordinating engaging guest speakers to organizing vendors spaces and ensuring a seamless experience for participants from across the state. One notable achievement was the successful implementation of a process to efficiently distribute participant packets, name tags, and schedules. This involved not only meticulous planning but also a designated area for on-site registrations. I take pride in having executed this streamlined system for three conferences, contributing to the overall success and positive feedback from participants.
