Being a part of the faculty team at
Governors State University is an opportunity to give back to the field of
health care management. Seeing the growth and development of students in our
field and watching them learn and ultimately serve our society and improve the
health status of our communities is what motivates me to continue in academia.
Being responsible for the department and implementation of university, college and department policies insures that I can make a difference in the
lives of our students.
I hold a Doctorate of Healthcare
Administration from Central Michigan University, a Master's
degree in Public Administration/Health Services Management and a BA in
Environmental Studies. I am a Harvard Macy Scholar, a fellow in the UIC Public Health Leadership
Institute and a fellow in the American College of Health Care Executives. I'm also the immediate past President of the
Institute for Diversity in Health Management, and the past President of the Chicago/Mid-west
Chapter of the National Association of Health Services Executives (NAHSE).
My community service is directed at improving the health status of the people
in our communities, especially those who lack equity in the health services to which they have access. Therefore I serve
on a number of boards that share the mission of improving the health status and
equity of their communities, including: the board of Trustees for the Roseland Community Hospital, the Thapelo Institute
and the National Association of Health Services Executives.
