I joined the NN2 Board because I saw an opportunity to give back and make a difference. The NN2 Board provides an excellent opportunity to positively affect change and support the organization as it works to provide networking opportunities and elevate the level of instruction in health sciences, causes that I am passionate about. Being a part of the Board of Directors provides me an opportunity to use my specific knowledge, skills and expertise to really make a difference in the impact of the organization and its future.

My first exposure to NN2 was in 2015 when our VP for Healthcare asked me to attend the annual meeting as a new dean. That meeting provided me with networking opportunities and ideas that I was able to take back to my campus and immediately put to use. I have had the honor of presenting at the annual meeting a few times, and I have served on the board since 2019. So often as healthcare education leaders we are faced with situations and decisions that our fellow faculty simply cannot assist due to lack of context. NN2 provides a vast network of professionals who have the necessary context and experience to help support and troubleshoot your way to success.
