Director - Peri-operative Services
The Valley Hospital
I fulfilled my life-long dream of working in the OR and accepted a spot in the Perioperative 101 residency program in August of 2001.
I picked up many skills early on as an OR nurse. I was promoted to Operating Room Supervisor/ Charge Nurse for the evening shift in 2011 and eventually became the OR Manager in 2015. I was responsible for overseeing the daily logistics of all procedures performed at the main campus. During this time provided stellar leadership and was a key player in standardizing processes, improving efficiency, workplace satisfaction, and implementing the HRO and TEAMSTEPP principles. Eventually promoted to Director last May of 2021.
I have an MSN degree in Leadership and Management and maintains my CNOR certification.
