Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! Pursuing a healthcare career is a meaningful decision. At Concorde Fort Myers, we don’t take that lightly. We’re here to ensure you feel seen, supported, and empowered from day one.

I started my career in higher education in 2006, right here in Fort Myers. Most of my students were training for careers in healthcare, and it didn’t take long for me to realize how special that path is. Helping people live healthier lives takes heart, skill and commitment — those qualities are precisely what I saw in my students. That early experience set the tone for everything that’s come since.

My career has spanned Arizona and Florida, where I've advanced from faculty and department director roles to leading entire campuses. But no matter what, my focus never changes: it’s always about the individual student and their success.

That’s what brought me to Concorde. I wanted to be part of a student-centered organization where faculty, staff and leadership are aligned around one purpose: supporting learners as they pursue life-changing careers. Concorde is deeply invested in giving campuses what they need to deliver quality healthcare training, including our partnership with Heartland Dental.

My approach to leadership is simple: lead with integrity, stay present and always keep the student experience front and center. I encourage my team to show up meaningfully for students and their families.

I hope every student walks away with the sense that they are part of something bigger than themselves, and that they’ll not only be proud of the training they earn, but of the journey it took to get there.

Because at Concorde Fort Myers, that journey matters. And we’re here to walk it with you.
