Her Story
My life has been a wild ride where bravery doesn't guarantee victory - but a game plan helps. From swapping nursing scrubs for mom jeans and diving into the startup world to landing in the exec chair, each chapter was a mix of ups and downs. Now, as Group President of Workforce at Aya Healthcare, we have grown to become the largest healthcare staffing and technology company in just six years. Learning and mastering the moves of growth keep the momentum going.
Not that long ago, I was an exhausted single mom with a failed startup, a load of debt, and diminishing hope. I felt finished and defeated. But then, something happened - I recognized the power I had to navigate the shifts that were happening all around me. Rather than giving in to the things I couldn’t control, I sprung into action to change the things I could - pushing through the messy middle and realizing both personal and professional growth at every turn. This has now become my bedrock for growth ever since.
​
Today, I believe we are living in a world of continuous shifts that are happening at a pace faster than ever before. Recent advancements in all industries have increased the complexity of our lives and jobs, creating a greater risk of teams and organizations becoming irrelevant or obsolete.
​
To stay in sync with these shifts, I offer a growth model with innovative insights, practical tools, and resources to unlock adaptability and revolutionize your growth journey. My Growth Game Plan™ is a ‘get down to business’ playbook tailored for teams and organizations seeking personal and professional growth.
