My previous entrepreneurial endeavors allow me to have a unique perspective on nursing and healthcare. In addition to my nursing knowledge, I am a great communicator with a team-oriented spirit. As the previous owner/operator of my own businesses, I have experience with critical thinking and creative problem solving. In this role, I have had to develop excellent managerial and communicative skills. Encouraging scholars to consider topics beyond their own concerns, and recognize ways they can positively impact their family, friends, communities, and profession, is an influential way to foster the servant leader; my vision for the nurse of the future.
