About
Chief Operating Officer | Executive Director | Project Strategy + Execution | Operations Management + Business Development
As a CEO and registered nurse, I bring a comprehensive perspective that intertwines healthcare, government, and visionary leadership. I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power that receiving quality care has on individuals' lives, igniting a passion within me to revolutionize healthcare as a whole.
With years of experience in both sectors, I deeply understand the complexity and challenges facing our healthcare system and the importance of prioritizing access to mental health care.
We can do better!
The pursuit of enhanced healthcare access has been the driving force behind my journey, and I am privileged to lead teams and organizations that have made profound impacts in this realm.
I firmly believe that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy holds the key to unlocking new realms of healing and personal growth. I have witnessed the limitations of traditional approaches and the pressing need for innovative therapies.
By combining my knowledge of healthcare operations with the transformative power of psychedelics, I can create a future where individuals have the tools, support, and resources they need not only to heal but to thrive in their lives.
As a leader in the emerging psychedelic-assisted therapy space, I am excited to work with like-minded individuals to drive meaningful change. Together, we can seize the forefront of the psychedelic-assisted therapy industry, spearheading positive change, influencing regulatory reform, and usher in a new era of mental healthcare excellence.
