Current Job Title: TriClip Tricuspid Valve Repair System National Trainer, Abbott Laboratories

What led you to your current career? Who or what inspired you? “I wanted a career that was both meaningful and interesting. A career in medicine checked both of those boxes for me. Nursing opened my eyes to a fascinating world and allowed me to humbly serve my fellow man, while ultimately the medical device industry offered me a place to enjoy my twofold love for medicine and technology.”

What is the most rewarding part of your career? “To be a part of cutting-edge medical technologies that are redefining the standard of care for patients with heart failure. The minimally invasive technologies are allowing patients to live longer while having a better quality of life.”

How did NECC prepare you for your current role? “The NECC Nursing Program gave me a strong clinical foundation and defined and developed my critical thinking skills. These skill sets are highly valuable and sought after in today’s marketplace.”

Do you have a favorite memory of NECC that you’d like to share? “The Anatomy and Physiology I course I took with Professor Tom White. His enthusiasm and brilliance was contagious and made the course fun and engaging. He inspired and supported me to pursue a degree in nursing. For that I am forever grateful to him.”
