In today’s complex healthcare environment, communication isn’t just a soft skill — it’s a strategic asset.

At Behind Pink Doors, we solve these kinds of problems by unpacking healthcare leaders’ struggle to transform disengaged and burnt-out teams to build high-engaging teams that improve patient experiences. Leaders achieve this transformation through compassionate leadership, which fosters personal growth and creates a robust culture that thrives.

Leaders often face high-pressure environments with demanding schedules and have the challenge of balancing administrative duties with patient care.

Learn how to make a significant impact in your healthcare facility and ways to rejuvenate and inspire your teams.

If you are seeing signs like:

  • High levels of staff dissatisfaction
  • Inability to retain top talent
  • Poor communication within the team
  • Inadequate leadership approaches for the healthcare setting
  • Subpar patient care experiences
  • Resistance to change among staff
  • Overreliance on outdated management techniques
  • Emotional and professional burnout
  • Office politics hindering productivity
  • Low morale impacting team performance

…then you likely have a situation worth fixing.

Let’s talk about how better communication can improve your care delivery — and your bottom line.

A Journey Through Many Passions

My path has been anything but traditional. It started with music—singing and playing piano as a teen and into my first year of college. Then, I spent three years immersed in interior design before finding my way into the medical field, specializing in radiology.

Healthcare, at first, seemed like a practical choice. When a group of radiologists encouraged me to apply for a radiology program during a technologist shortage, I saw it as a stable career move. But as the song goes, “I fooled around and fell in love.”

Women’s health became my true calling. Being on the front lines of cancer diagnosis never felt like just a job—it was an honor. I was privileged to be trusted in a sacred space, supporting women during some of their most vulnerable moments.

More Than Healthcare

Beyond my work in medicine, I’ve explored many creative ventures. I’ve been a:
• Professional caterer
• Restaurant owner
• Interior decorator (for both medical offices and private homes)
• 5-star Airbnb host

Each experience added depth to my journey, enriching both my personal and professional life.

My True Escape: Lake Life

Above all, my greatest passion is lake life. Living by the water recharges me, soothes my worries, and fills me with energy. It’s a lifestyle that reminds me to slow down, breathe, and embrace life’s simple joys.
