How long have you been with Hutch Clinic? 12 years

Why did you want to join the Hutch Clinic team? I previously worked at the hospital, and while I had the opportunity to take care of many patients, I wanted to work in a setting where I could interact and create new patient-nurse relationships in the outpatient setting. Working in Cardiology for 10 years before moving into my current role, I was able to provide ongoing care for many patients and build caring and trusting relationships with them.

What’s your favorite quote? From The Man in the Arena by Theodore Roosevelt: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
