What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role in healthcare that values quality patient care and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive experience in nursing and health services management. Currently, I serve as the Director of Health Services at Pruitt Health Fort Oglethorpe, where I oversee a skilled rehab and long-term care facility with 120 beds. My role involves supervising a team of 65 employees, managing clinical competencies, and ensuring compliance with state regulations to provide the highest quality of care.

Prior to my current position, I held various roles within Pruitt Health, including Case Mix Director, where I was responsible for chart audits and state-regulated assessments. My nursing career began in 2005, where I gained diverse experience in med-surge, ortho, telemetry, ER, and ICU settings. I have also served as a Construction Project Manager, which has equipped me with strong organizational and leadership skills that I apply in my healthcare roles.
