Board of Directors

I am excited to serve on the board of Adelante Mujer and support medical training for women in Nicaragua and Guatemala. I am deeply passionate about education and women’s career advancement. I currently serve as Director of Pharmacy at SSM Health and earned my Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I am a board-certified pharmacotherapy specialist and hold a master’s degree in healthcare administration. I have served on several boards focused on youth mentoring and mental health. In 2025, I participated in a medical mission trip to Guatemala, gaining firsthand insight into the country’s healthcare system. I look forward to continuing Adelante Mujer’s mission and supporting women who aspire to serve others.
