"I am honored and humbled to receive this award. I started my journey at Mayo Clinic in Florida on September 4, 1996, and knew early on I would spend my career at Mayo. I have been fortunate to grow and evolve during my years at Mayo by continuing my education and building my leadership skills. Throughout my career, I have taken pride in serving and supporting our staff and working with the best physicians in healthcare who have cared for me and my family. I have had amazing role models and mentors over the years and feel blessed to work at Mayo Clinic. I am thankful to so many of you who have supported and believed in me and I’m especially grateful to my family. I look forward to continuing to help Mayo Clinic be the best for our patients and staff."
