As a daughter of a physician and a nurse and a health and fitness enthusiast since childhood, I was destined to become a health care professional. I combined my interest in and aptitude for science, business, communications, and leadership into a long-time career in health administration and association management. I'm happiest when I'm growing organizations and the dedicated people who support them. As Vice President for Communications at the College of American Pathologists, I'm responsible for internal and external communications and protecting and promoting our brand and reputation because we employ over 650 employees across 18,000 members and over 23,000 customers in over 100 countries. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the important work of pathologists and their medical laboratories have come to the forefront. See www.yourpathologist.org.
