"It was a lot, but it was by far the most amazing job. It was wonderful."

"I work with partners in patient experience, safety, quality, and clinical asset management."

"So most of my work is outlined in the communication plans that I create. I spend a part of each day writing, whether that's an email or newsletter articles."

"The ability to gently push back when someone asks for something on short notice is crucial."

"I believe now I am more productive than I would be in a traditional office setting."

"The biggest challenge is helping teams understand why we can't just whip something together and get it out tomorrow."

"I learn something new each day. Whether it's an acronym because the healthcare industry is filled with acronyms or something else."

"People who thrive are curious and flexible, people persons who build relationships."

"Humility is key. You are replaceable. You don't know everything, and most times people don't really want to hear your thoughts or opinions."

"Good news is there are so many positions and it all just depends on, on where your interests lie."

"Offering someone a genuine smile, a kind word or a helping hand, will take you farther than any expertise you might have."

"I volunteered a lot to do jobs that maybe other people didn't want to do."

"I had to develop a thick skin pretty quickly."
