University of Phoenix, Masters in Health Administration
What motivated you to pursue your degree?
I’ve always been passionate about helping people and improving the way healthcare systems support communities. I realized that meaningful impact doesn’t only happen at the bedside, it also happens through leadership, organization, and creating better experiences for patients, families, and healthcare teams. Pursuing my degree has allowed me to grow professionally, strengthen my leadership skills, and prepare for a career where I can help make healthcare more accessible, efficient, and compassionate.🙌🏽
What are your career goals/ future plans?
My career goals are to continue growing within healthcare administration and build a career focused on leadership, patient experience, and operational excellence. I hope to work in roles that allow me to improve processes, support healthcare teams, and create positive experiences for both patients and employees. Long term, I aspire to step into leadership positions where I can make a meaningful impact on healthcare organizations and the communities they serve while also mentoring and uplifting others along the way. ❤️
What advice would you give to someone starting this journey?
My advice to someone starting this journey would be to stay open to learning, networking, and stepping outside of your comfort zone. Every experience, whether it’s an internship, leadership role, or conversation with a mentor, can teach you something valuable. Don’t be discouraged if your path doesn’t look exactly like someone else’s. Growth takes time, and consistency, confidence, and passion will take you further than perfection. Most importantly, remember why you started and let that motivate you through the challenges.🥰
