My Board Leadership Story

Over the course of my 30+ year nursing career, I’ve embraced every opportunity to serve, lead, and advocate. My journey into board service was a natural progression of my dedication to professional excellence and community engagement. I currently serve on the American Nurses Association Healthy Nurse Healthy Nation Advisory Board and have previously contributed my insight and experience on the March of Dimes board. In each role, serving alongside other nurses has amplified our collective voice and ensured the profession remains at the center of vital conversations shaping healthcare.

My path to board involvement has always started with building authentic relationships. Staying connected to my community—through schools, churches, and youth programs—has consistently opened doors to serve in ways that matter deeply. These experiences, paired with my role as professional excellence and Magnet program director at a large academic medical center, have shaped my ability to assess systems, identify opportunities for positive disruption, and lead with compassion, inclusion, and strategy.

Of course, board service hasn’t come without challenges. Navigating “group think” and reaching consensus can be complex, especially when perspectives vary widely. And while healthcare environments often share a professional framework, boards bring together diverse worldviews—a shift that demands listening more deeply and leading more broadly.

Still, the impact of nurses on boards is undeniable. We bring credibility, evidence-based expertise, and a deep sense of purpose. We ground lofty strategies in the reality of patient care and clinical insight. Our presence ensures that data and empathy inform every decision—and that health equity and well-being remain central to the mission of every organization we serve.

 

SE Healthcare – Technology to Support Boards

In my role at SE Healthcare, I lead strategic initiatives aimed at tackling one of healthcare’s most

pressing challenges—burnout. At the forefront of this work is our Nurse Burnout Prevention® Program, a comprehensive solution that empowers healthcare systems to proactively address clinician well-being. Through data-driven interventions, predictive analytics, and AI-powered dashboards, we enable organizations to identify emerging burnout trends—by shift, unit, or demographic—and take meaningful action before those stressors escalate into larger systemic issues.

SE Healthcare has continued to expand the impact of our Enrichment Center, which offers over 300 microlearning modules developed specifically for nurses. These modules, many of which offer CME/CE credit, are part of a personalized learning platform guided by AI and stress signal analytics. This approach ensures that every clinician has access to relevant, on-demand content that supports their growth, resilience, and mental well-being.

I’m focused on integrating well-being into the operational DNA of healthcare systems. This means aligning technology, training, and leadership development with the real-world pressures nurses face every day—so we not only respond to burnout but redesign the conditions that cause it in the first place.
