Summary

With over 25 years in the nursing field, I bring a patient-centered approach to healthcare quality improvement. My philosophy is simple yet powerful: healthcare should not be difficult, but it should be the best it can possibly be for each and every person. I leverage my extensive clinical background to develop and implement quality programs that make a real difference in healthcare delivery.

As a quality improvement specialist, I focus on: • Bridging the gap between clinical practice and regulatory requirements • Developing practical solutions to complex healthcare challenges • Leading accreditation initiatives that enhance patient care • Mentoring healthcare professionals to drive quality outcomes • Creating sustainable quality improvement programs

My experience spans clinical nursing, quality management, and regulatory compliance, allowing me to bring a comprehensive perspective to healthcare quality initiatives. I'm passionate about transforming healthcare systems to better serve both patients and providers.
