Bio

As the CEO of the Interprofessional Critical Care Network (ICCN) and a dedicated Respiratory Care Practitioner, my journey in healthcare has been driven by a passion for improving patient outcomes and a belief in the power of collaboration.

With a background that includes roles at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, The Mount Sinai Hospital, and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, I've been fortunate to work alongside some of the most talented professionals in the field.

My academic foundation was laid at Gwynedd Mercy University, where I graduated with honors in Respiratory Care. This education set the stage for a career committed to the well-being of patients facing complex respiratory challenges. My areas of interest includes ventilator and airway management, acute respiratory distress syndrome, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and comprehensive patient assessment, always with a focus on compassionate care.

At ICCN, I'm proud to be part of a team that's dedicated to enhancing our offerings and driving innovation in critical care. I value the opportunity to learn from every project and encounter, believing that continuous improvement is key to our success. My involvement in professional societies, such as the Society of Critical Care Medicine is a testament to my commitment to learning and growing with my peers.

Recognition, such as the Presidential Citation Award from SCCM, serves as a reminder of what we can achieve together, and I'm honored to be a Fellow of the American College of Critical Care Medicine. Sharing knowledge through national lectures and publications is not just a duty but a privilege, allowing me to contribute to the ongoing conversation on how to best care for our patients.

My service in the United States Army taught me the value of resilience and teamwork, qualities that I bring to my role every day. I am continually inspired by the dedication of those I work with and am committed to leading ICCN in a way that honors our shared goal: to deliver patient-centered care that makes a real difference
