System Director, Communications and Media Relations

Formed in February 2015, AMITA Health is a new beginning in healthcare that was created by the merger of Adventist Midwest Health and Alexian Brothers Health System. Together, we will provide quality care that is open, inclusive and compassionate, delivered with dignity and empathy for all. What makes our opportunities so special is our holistic approach to healthcare and to life. We care for patients in body, mind, and spirit - and encourage a work-life balance that really works for our employees.

When I was little—two or three—I remember getting a red plastic doctor’s kit for Christmas. My interest in medicine lasted only as long as the kit’s candy pills. However, I was brought back to health care at age 15 with my first real job—washing dishes at my hometown’s small community hospital. Now, I’m an experienced public relations and marketing communications professional working in the health care industry. I’m a highly creative innovator, adept in all areas of communication, honing excellent strategic planning, writing and presentation skills. Experienced in media relations, event planning, written and electronic communications, brand positioning, communication plan development and budgeting, I’m a proven team leader and problem-solver.
