I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of a few speaking opportunities regarding women in leadership. While I enjoy all of the opportunities I have to speak, female leadership is certainly one of my favorites. Most women serve multiple roles—business person, parent, daughter, partner, community leader, even caregiver. Do you see yourself in two […]
I’ve made my fair share of bad decisions in life: dropping out of college at the end of my sophomore year to get married and have kids, staying too long in a dead-end relationship, leaving ‘a real job’ to become a legal intern when I had three kids to support. Some of my bad decisions […]
Flashback to 2015 – I’m writing a doctoral thesis for the Doctor of Education degree I earned through the Executive Leadership Program at the Ralph C. Wilson School of Education at St. John Fisher College. My thesis – “Leading for Good in the Impulse Society” – examined the complex role of an executive at a […]
I was excited to have an opportunity to participate in CenterState CEO’s 7 Habits of 7 Highly Successful People in September. It was humbling to be asked to share seven of my own habits, and I was excited to hear with the other six individuals would have to share (refer to #5 below). Since these […]
Another topic that has come to my attention from the conversations I’ve had with my employees is how the lack of reliable transportation affects both them and Loretto.

This season can feel overwhelming for a lot of people, but especially for perfectionists. I’ve shared with you my struggle with perfectionism in […]
It’s no secret that I work in an industry that is experiencing a workforce shortage. As Loretto continues to grow – how can I possibly keep up? Part of the answer is HealthTrain. What is HealthTrain? It started with an organization called CenterState Corporation for Economic Opportunity. The individuals at CenterState CEO developed a program […]
In our world today, there is often an “us vs. them” mentality. Leadership vs. staff. Democrat vs. republican. Union vs. non-union. White vs. black. The list goes on. When I first arrived at Loretto, this “us vs. them” mentality was considered the status quo by many. Despite skepticism from colleagues (both in and outside of […]
I’ve been busy over the past few months preparing for a post-conference workshop at the National Health & Well-Being Conference in Boston. My workshop covers a topic that has become a priority for me: addressing the concept of “work-life balance” and helping people achieve overall well-being – for their employees and for themselves. If you’ve […]
I am humbled, grateful and excited to share that I have been selected as a finalist for the “Top Women in Healthcare Awards.” For those of you who aren’t familiar with these awards, they recognize unique contributions and leadership of female healthcare executives across all sectors of the market: hospitals, healthcare systems, physician organizations, pharmaceuticals, […]
Everyone has a story. The challenges I faced in my personal and professional journey led me to my vision for Loretto and the greater Syracuse community. A vision that is embodied in a philosophy I call “pragmatic altruism.” If you’ve read my book you know Lifecircle Leadership’s philosophy: doing good is good business. However, it’s […]
