Personal

“Outside of my patient care time, I am involved in leading, researching, and teaching on the topic of healthcare worker wellness and burnout locally, nationally, and internationally. Outside of my work life, my husband and I enjoy exploring museums and any and all outdoor activities with our three children and our extended families. We dabble in vegetable gardening, and when I get a moment to myself, I love reading historical fiction and non-fiction.”
