What gets me excited about my work?
I am passionate about patient safety! I love that Candello allows me to use my clinical nursing experience, legal knowledge and passion for patient safety to help our clients analyze their medical professional liability claims data, which is critical to making healthcare safer and preventing future harm.

On the weekends, you’ll find me...
walking and playing with my dog, Layla or reading a good book. I also enjoy playing golf, watching hockey or football and spending time with family and friends.
