Clinical Director of Medical Surgical Intensive Care Unit
Inova Alexandria Hospital
Since I started my career in nursing, I've always seen my primary role to be a patient advocate and the final gate keeper to ensure our treatments are in the best interest of our patients. Having spent my career working in several adult intensive care units (ICU), I understand firsthand how important it is to be considerate of each and everything we do. As the Director of Inova Alexandria Hospital Medical Surgical ICU, ensuring patient safety, especially the prevention of hospital acquired infections, the primary way that I can advocate for my patients through engaging the critical care team to make prevention a priority and implementing practices that protect our patients. I love to brainstorm and be creative when problem solving and I am a firm believer in shared governance.
