Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer

Sentara cares about our people, and we show it by creating a work culture where your contributions are recognized, where you can thrive, and where you can grow. Sentara’s people are diverse in their many identities. They come from all backgrounds, places, lifestyles and traditions.

We celebrate our people’s diversity because we know it makes us more inclusive and compassionate, and that makes us better caregivers. We want to get to know you as an individual, a community member, a lifelong learner and an expert in your field. Your story, along with the stories of the 28,000 people who help us improve health every day, are what make up the Sentara story.

Here, you can get to know a little more about the people of Sentara. Perhaps you’ll discover a story here that inspires your own career path. Maybe you’ll read something that is the push you need to take on a new challenge, role or opportunity. Or maybe you will recognize a little bit of yourself reflected in the experiences of our colleagues. I hope Sentara feels like the kind of place you want to make your professional home and that you’ll join us as we work together to improve health every day.

I know I do.

My career started with Sentara nearly 30 years ago. Sentara has afforded me many opportunities over the years to grow and thrive in both my career and in life. I have dedicated my professional life to supporting the people of Sentara who make up our great organization. I take my role as Sentara’s Chief People Officer very seriously and am proud because our people are at the very heart of all we do. I’m honored to work alongside each one of them, and I’d be honored to work alongside you.
