Career dream as a child
“As a child, my career dream was to be a nurse.”
Professional “aha” moment
“When I created the concept of a mental health medical office building, where an anchor tenant treatment facility was surrounded by other tenants with ancillary services to mental health, thereby allowing clients to access a full continuum of health care services in one place. It was an ‘aha’ moment for me because it connected my real estate expertise with my background in health care and my desire to help others.”
Making Arkansas more attractive to young professionals
“A younger community network and more available mentorship opportunities.”
