WHY I’M HERE
My first job out of college was a marketing position at a small community hospital that was part of a larger regional health care system. This hospital was unlike any other that I had Experienced — or what I thought hospitals were. Volunteers baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby, complementary therapies like massage and aromatherapy were offered at the bedside, and every team member did their part to personalize, humanize, and demystify the Experience for patients and their loved ones.

This opportunity opened my eyes to new possibilities and sparked a passion inside of me. I am here to make a difference in people’s lives through the vital and meaningful work we are doing to heal the health care Experience from the Inside Out. It’s what fills me up and drives me to be the best I can each and every day.

As Chief Business Officer, I oversee the “business of the business” and operations of the Lab. I find great joy whenever a new opportunity to bring new experiments and Experiences to life comes along.
