I am a Sterile Processing Educator at Cedars-Sinai with seven years of experience dedicated to advancing patient safety through education, quality, and excellence in sterile processing. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about mentoring technicians, strengthening competencies, and promoting best practices that support safe surgical care. My work focuses on fostering a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and accountability while emphasizing compliance with AAMI standards and industry guidelines.

Prior to my career in healthcare, I proudly served eight years in the United States Marine Corps. The leadership, discipline, and commitment to service I developed in the military continue to influence my approach as an educator and mentor. I believe investing in people is one of the most effective ways to elevate the Sterile Processing profession and improve patient outcomes. Through education, mentorship, and lifelong learning, I strive to inspire others to pursue excellence and make a meaningful impact every day.
