WITH HIM, FOR REALIn Scrubs

“Leadership has never been about a title for me. It has always been about people.”

I am a nurse leader, author, educator, mentor, and woman of faith who is passionate about helping others grow and succeed. Throughout my career, I have been blessed with opportunities to lead teams, develop healthcare professionals, advance nursing practice, and create pathways for others to reach goals they once thought were out of reach.

My work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves someone who sees their potential and helps them pursue it. Whether I am leading healthcare initiatives, writing about leadership and innovation, mentoring students, or speaking to professional groups, my focus remains the same: building people, strengthening communities, and creating meaningful impact.

Professionally, I serve as the Administrative Director of Professional Practice and Clinical Education and Magnet Program Director for Ambulatory Nursing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Personally, I am a lifelong learner, an advocate for leadership development, and someone who believes faith, compassion, and service should guide every decision we make.

I strive to lead with authenticity, encourage with purpose, and serve with humility. My prayer is that through my work, writing, and leadership, I can help others recognize their value, embrace their calling, and become the leaders they were created to be.
