Please share advice you would give as a mentor to women new to the health field.
Allow your compassion to shine, use logic for decisions and focus on solutions instead of problems.
Tell us about a time when being a woman in health care offered an advantage.
Women are often naturally empathetic, which can set patients at ease. Patients make better medical decisions when they are confident their provider is right for them.
Describe the moment or time of life you decided to have a career in health.
Even as a young child, I loved serving and helping people. When a trusted colleague and mentor invited me to join the Beltone Hearing team, I knew fairly quickly that I was in the right space.
If you could change one thing about health care, what would it be?
I can change it, and with my team’s help, we already are. We are improving communication about the importance of treating hearing loss. Treating hearing loss isn’t just about hearing better; it’s about living better. When you address the loss early, you protect your brain, stay connected with your loved ones and keep participating in the moments that make life meaningful.
