""I have implemented several key managerial techniques that have fostered a family-feel culture and morale with our staff. With four children, I needed a flexible degree program that was conducive to raising a family and working full-time.
I came to Â鶹ÊÓƵ because of the flexible scheduling outside of work hours and also received my undergraduate degree in the Healthcare Leadership program."
