About

-I'm a nurse and native Northern Californian. -Supporting, managing and leading caring teams is my passion. -Serving as a home health nurse early in my career (in Hawaii), taught me about the special bond 1:1 care can create. Everything since then (becoming a board-certified nurse executive, leading our team and lab at Stanford Health, serving at UC Davis and UCLA, scaling a clinician data abstraction team team from zero to 200+ people in two years, earning an MBA at UC Davis) has been in service of one idea: the people doing the caring know how to fix most of what's broken. Let's work tirelessly with them... to help them succeed.
