What Drives Me
A career in healthcare is never just a job. For me, it is a reflection of what I believe in most: that every patient deserves to be heard, taken seriously, and supported with the highest standard of care. This belief did not come from a textbook. It came from experience — both professional and deeply personal.
Patients Deserve Better
Throughout my career, I have seen firsthand what happens when patients feel supported — and what happens when they do not. As an occupational therapist, I spent years working directly with patients and their families, building trust, explaining treatment plans, and making sure that every person in my care felt like a partner in their own recovery. That patient-first mindset followed me into the medical device industry, where I now serve as a bridge between the technology and the human being it is designed to help.
I believe that great healthcare is built on communication, empathy, and accountability. Whether I am in the operating room supporting a physician or sitting with a patient explaining their device options, my approach is always the same: listen first, educate thoroughly, and never cut corners when someone's quality of life is on the line.
A Personal Commitment to Women's Health
I carry a deep personal passion for women's health — one shaped by my own journey. After nearly a decade of symptoms that were minimized, misattributed, and overlooked, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. That experience changed the way I see healthcare. It showed me how many women spend years searching for answers while feeling dismissed by the very system meant to help them.
This is not something I take lightly. I believe that conditions like endometriosis — which affects an estimated one in ten women — represent a systemic failure in how we listen to and care for women. And I believe that the medical device industry has a meaningful role to play in changing that reality.
While my professional work today centers on neuromodulation and pain management, my long-term vision is rooted in the belief that my clinical background, device expertise, and personal experience can contribute to a larger conversation about how we care for women.
This is the space where my career and my convictions meet — and it is the direction I am most passionate about growing into.
Where Purpose Meets Profession
My vision for my career is simple: to continue doing work that matters. I want to be in rooms where decisions about patient care are being made. I want to bring the perspective of someone who has been both a clinician and a patient. And I want to use my expertise to ensure that the people I serve — physicians, patients, and healthcare organizations — always have someone in their corner who genuinely cares about the outcome.
If that resonates with you, I would love to connect.
