Her work in the acute care settings spans across intensive care to medical-surgical settings. She also holds a board certification in Adult-Mental Health nursing.

In this role, she has oversight of the care management processes within an embedded care coordination project which is focused on providing primary case management in a medical home model, no matter the payer.
