Her work reflects a deep commitment to patient-centered care, clinical excellence, and compassionate service across a wide range of healthcare settings.

She began her nursing career at Trillium Family Services in Corvallis, Oregon, where she served as a Mental Health Nurse caring for adolescents in a secure residential unit. In this role, she developed a strong foundation in psychiatric nursing, performing admissions, assessments, and medication management while collaborating closely with psychiatrists, mental health specialists, and multidisciplinary teams to support the well-being of vulnerable youth.

From there, she transitioned into home care administration at New Horizons InHome Care, where she served as both Case Manager and Administrator. In this capacity, she helped license the Corvallis office, developed caregiver training programs, and worked closely with hospital discharge planners and long-term care coordinators to ensure clients received seamless, high-quality in-home support.

Her passion for end-of-life care led her to Lumina Hospice, where she spent over five years growing from an RN Case Manager into a Clinical Manager. As a case manager, she provided holistic, compassionate nursing care to terminally ill patients and their families, coordinating interdisciplinary services and ensuring full compliance with Medicare regulations. Promoted to Clinical Manager, she oversaw nursing staff and hospice aides, led IDT conferences, drove quality improvement initiatives, and contributed to the agency’s strategic planning and fiscal health.

Continuing her hospice leadership journey, she joined American Premier Hospice in Phoenix, Arizona as Director of Nursing, a role she held for over two years. There she directed all clinical services — including RNs, CNAs, social workers, chaplains, and bereavement coordinators — while maintaining rigorous compliance with regulatory and accreditation standards, including The Joint Commission. She spearheaded quality assurance programs, developed clinical education tools, coordinated with the medical director, and mentored her team to deliver exceptional end-of-life care.

Expanding her scope of practice, she returned briefly to Trillium Family Services as Health Services Manager, overseeing the nursing department for an adolescent behavioral health campus. She led infection prevention programs, vaccination initiatives, EMR development, and interdisciplinary care planning — demonstrating her versatility across care settings.

She then served as a Clinical Alignment Specialist at Banner Hospice, where she collaborated with palliative care teams and hospital physicians to coordinate hospice transitions for both home care and inpatient patients, conducting assessments, developing care plans, and providing end-of-life education.

She went on to serve as Associate Director of the 3W3B PCU Unit at Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center in Sun City West, Arizona. In this executive nursing leadership role, she oversaw unit operations, managed budgets, drove quality and process improvement initiatives, and developed the next generation of nursing leaders through coaching, shared governance models, and career development opportunities. She served as a real-time clinical expert for staff and physicians, ensuring exceptional patient outcomes and regulatory compliance.

Most recently, she has returned to American Premier — now in the elevated role of Managing Director — where she provides executive oversight across all three of the organization’s programs: home health, hospice, and palliative care. In this expanded capacity, she draws on the full breadth of her clinical and leadership experience to drive organizational excellence, ensure the highest standards of patient care, and guide a multidisciplinary workforce dedicated to serving patients and families at every stage of the care continuum.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology (Cum Laude) from Utah State University — a dual academic foundation that uniquely informs her whole-person approach to patient care and leadership.
