Tell us a little bit about yourself.* A. I started my career in nursing as a public health nurse, and for the past twenty years, I’ve worked as a family nurse practitioner, mostly in primary care but also in endocrinology and urgent care. I have a special interest in communicable disease, adolescent health, and caring for underserved populations. On the weekends, I love to ski, hike and be outside with my family. ### *Q. What did you do prior to joining EBSCO’s Nursing and Allied Health Editorial Leadership Team?* A. I earned a doctorate in nursing, focusing on community health; specifically, how to promote healthy transitions to freedom for people released from incarceration in Denver, Colorado. After I graduated, I worked as a family nurse practitioner and taught graduate and undergraduate nursing. At my last employer, I was able to bring my care management skills to the table helping direct and coordinate cost-effective referral guidelines for our accountable care organization. ### *Q. What inspired you to become a healthcare professional?* A. I’ve always been curious about people, and I love learning what motivates people to make choices in their lives. I’m interested in the different ways we live; I enjoy figuring out big problems, and I want to support vulnerable people in their efforts to live meaningful happy lives. ![](/themes/custom/cog_ebsco/images/pullquote-icon.png) ### I’m interested in the different ways we live; I enjoy figuring out big problems, and I want to support vulnerable people in their efforts to live meaningful happy lives. ### *Q. What drew you to EBSCO and our Nursing and Allied Health Editorial Leadership Team?* A. Over my career in clinical practice, I observed health care workers becoming more and more vulnerable to high levels of stress and burnout. I wanted to create something that would make their jobs easier, promote positive health outcomes, and give back time at the bedside so they could find meaning in work again. ### *Q. What is your favorite part of your job?* A. Learning something new every day is my very favorite thing, and I feel happy to have the opportunity to support my colleagues in their efforts to provide high quality, evidence-based care. ### *Q. What is your professional passion as it relates to healthcare?* A. To understand and care for the whole person, and to create a community where they can thrive.
