DVM
As a servant leader, I believe in leveraging my knowledge and strengths to give back. I am thankful to be a part of a profession comprised of the “best people on earth”
I am experienced in non-profit board leadership. I am a two-time participant in the Organizational Development Institute, I provided governance and management leadership for two terms on the Junior League of Olympia executive board, and I led the organization in developing a strategic plan.
I hope that I will bring business acumen as an MBA candidate concentrating in healthcare management, innovation, and technology.

I represent an underrepresented demographic and believe that diverse perspectives are important for improving decision-making and enhancing innovation. I’ve spent some time studying management in a diverse and global world, and I continue to stay open-minded to learning more to allow for cross-cultural collaboration.
