What is your role at UPHS?
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse working as a Clinical Care Coordinator for interventional radiology in the Heart & Vascular Center at UP Health System – Marquette.
What was your inspiration for getting into healthcare?
I took a healthcare class in my senior year of high school, which allowed me to experience multiple areas within the hospital, along with shadowing at a local nursing home. After taking this class, I found I enjoyed helping others and cherished the relationships I've built with my patients.
What’s a typical day like for you? What is it like working in this field?
Every day is busy and always a little different. Our office has multiple providers who treat many different health conditions. I can honestly say, I learn something new every day. Working in the field, you have to be able to adapt to change and be open to learning new things. Each day is rewarding knowing I have made a difference in our community.
How long have you been employed here? Have you always been in the same position?
I have been working at Heart & Vascular since May 2023. I transitioned into the clinical care coordinator position in September 2023.
What are some of the big changes you have experienced in this position?
The Heart & Vascular Center continues to gain new providers who bring new procedures to the office. It's such an honor to be able to learn about these procedures and watch how our patients benefit from them.
What are some of your interests outside of work? What is your favorite local gem?
I enjoy listening to live music—whether it's a local band or a concert out of town. I am a huge fan of the Detroit Red Wings. One of my favorite places is my backyard. During the summer, I am blessed with enjoying the lake and sitting at the sandbar with my family.
What do you enjoy most about working at UPHS – Marquette?
I enjoy working with my coworkers, including the interventional radiology team. Even on the busiest of days, we can always make one another laugh.
