She is often on-site during holidays, weekends, and nights serving our patients and staff. She works under an incredible amount of pressure but carries herself so well. She’s visible and accessible. She has difficult conversations with families and staff when issues arise. She continuously presses forward and has led her team through many changes and challenges over the years."
