Best early career advice received
Be humble enough to say when you don’t know the answer to something, commit to following up, and actually follow through with a well-researched response.
Why the health industry
There are so many selfless and passionate people working in the health industry, and there are so many inefficiencies and issues in their way. I am motivated every morning to make their days just a little bit easier, and I couldn’t imagine using my expertise to better any other industry.
Favorite professional work experience
Leading the task force that trained over 2,000 Duke Providers to use telehealth in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Relevant functional expertise
Health Data, Digital Health, Patient Experience, Omnichannel Communication
Why I joined Vynamic
To broaden my industry knowledge and continue to learn the health industry through new lenses.
My Vynamic color
Chicago Maroon – Maroon represents both confidence and warmth, fall is the best season, and Chicago Maroon is the official shade of the Virginia Tech Hokies!
Community cause
I am a wish granter for the Make-A-Wish Foundation! I did an endurance challenge that was 27 miles in one day to raise money and awareness for Make-A-Wish.
My pet(s)
I have a sassy calico cat named Stormi and a sweet old rescue, Chloe who, together with my fiancé, keep us very busy!
Favorite local community event/tradition
I really love going to the State Fair every year. I am a particular fan of the tilt-a-whirl, the giant pumpkins, and am probably the only person that gets the fried olives.
Favorite travel destination
Every travel destination is special, but I definitely learned the most about the world and myself by spending 3 weeks in Thailand.
