Member At Large, Education Committee Member

It has been a privilege to learn from and with so many of you through the listserv, at conferences, in the CAYA specialty group, as an Education Committee volunteer, and as the Student Member of the Board. My objectives for a board tenure extension are to (1) Contribute as a volunteer to help maintain and sustain this incredible organization; (2) Encourage student and new member engagement as our profession grows (3) Advocate for equal pay for equal work by healthcare providers.
I am a graduate of the UW’s School of Nursing DNP and ABSN programs and Foster School MBA program. Before becoming a nurse, I worked in strategic business management at a high-tech company for thirty years. My practice in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood is focused on patients ages 5 to 35 and their families. My practice dream is to establish an intensive outpatient program for adolescents living with substance use and co-occurring disorders in King County.
