Vice President

SpecialtyCare provides exceptional care, expertise, and innovation to help our customers realize better outcomes in perfusion, IONM, and surgical services.

After a short visit to a career in the field of Alzheimer therapy, I chose Cardiovascular perfusion. I graduated from Drexel University in 2001 with the "Perfusion Excellence" award for my class and moved on to staff perfusion at Inova Fairfax Hospital. After a great learning experience at Inova, I moved on to Fresenius Medical Care - ECA to be a Chief perfusionist and start up a new Cardiac Surgery program at Bayhealth Kent General. Our company is now SpecialtyCare and I have had the opportunity to move into the position of Market Manager for MD, DE and DC. I am still clinically active 75% of the time and keep my certification as well as managing other teams and coordinating contracts, financials and new business opportunites for our area. I love having the opportunity to mix clinical patient care with administrative corporate responsibilities. This is a historic "about me", that I choose to leave active to show my history. I moved into Director of Operations for 10 years and then Region President for 2 years and now am VP of Perfusion for the larger area of the East Region, working in a dyad partner model for business. I have had many career changing experiences on a clinical and business level and can speak to many of the nuances of making that transition. My experiences at SpecialtyCare have helped develop me into a seasoned and well rounded healthcare profeesional.
