BCC Alumni Stories

The patient and family and their successful health outcomes have been the cornerstone of my work and my thinking. So much of this came from my time at BCC, a place that focused my thinking, my knowledge and my direction during a lifetime of trying to help caregivers make evidenced based choices as they care for patients and families.

Leading the College's MSSO and being a part of that is where I made the most connections. I find a little motivation in all of the people in my life, and the MSSO became my found family of support who are there for me and push me to do better.
