--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please provide answers to the following questions.
1. What interests you about the Health Council of South Florida?
I am interested in the HCSF board position because of the lack of health care services and providers
traditionally attributed to Monroe County, and my dedication towards improving health services in my
community. In addition, other board members have communicated a lack of participation and coordination
within the Monroe County healthcare stakeholder population, and I believe my unique relationship with many
healthcare providers and county resources can aid in further HCSF's mission to reduce access disparities and
health promotion.
2. What skills, connections, resources, and expertise do have to offer and are willing to use on behalf of the Health
Council of South Florida?
I believe my personal and professional network in Monroe County will provide a suitable foundation for the
HCSF strategic plan, and my administrative and leadership skills will allow for practical and regular
accomplishments within the county.
3601
3. Have you had any experience in serving on non-for-profit boards and, if so,what has that experience taught
you?
I have served on the College of the Florida Keys Nursing Advisory Board and EMS Advisory Board since
beginning at the college three years ago.Through this experience, I have developed a better understanding
and practical knowledge of board procedure such as Robert's Rules of Order as well organizing agendas,
minutes, and annual reports for board use. In addition, I have led the coordination of several indirectly
related stakeholder groups as well as the arbitration of our several annual meetings. Given that many of
our stakeholders have a direct impact on the success of our Nursing and EMS programs, prioritizing
stakeholder benefits and communication has been vital to my time on these boards.
4. What expectations do you have from the management of organizations on whose boards you serve?
I strive to operate independently and to self-start on projects assigned to me. My only expectation is
that I receive clear and direct requests for team assignments. I am a practical communicator and
work best with conversations that start from the bottom-line or end-goal.
5. What challenges do you anticipate having in being able to fulfill your board commitments?
My greatest challenge that I anticipate is my current balance between work, school, family, and
personal professional projects. As my college department is currently understaffed, and because of my
current enrollment in a PhD program, extra time is at a premium for me. However, because of the
overlap between the interests of the HCSF and my own work, I believe I can successful in all aspects, if
given the time to adjust to a new schedule.
3602
6. What are your personal aspirations that could be enhanced by service on our Board?
My first personal priority as a professional is the completion of my PhD in Organizational Leadership.
I believe that participation in the HCSF will provide me with an opportunity to develop experiences
specific to Monroe and Miami-Dade county, while also providing me an opportunity to utilized the
skills learned in my doctorate program.
My first priority as a Monroe County education stakeholder is the strengthening of the relationship
between Monroe County health providers and consumers and the Health Council of South Florida to
the benefit of my own network and the offerings at The College of the Florida Keys.
I aspire to serve the student and health care employer stakeholders of South Florida from the
position of a higher education administrator, and I believe that membership with the Health Council
of South Florida will aid in that endeavor.

The Health Council of South Florida (HCSF) District 11 Health Profile shows key social determinants of health
indicators that reflect or contribute to health and wellness in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. Health
indicators for Miami-Dade and Monroe counties are comparable to other counties, state, and national data,
when available. However, disparities in various health conditions among population or people groups based
on race, ethnicity, sex, age, education, and income must be considered when observing data.
Indicators are grouped into fourteen (14) general sections with an attempt to capture the top ten (10)
leading causes of death and high-cost Emergency Department visits for District 11.
■ Population Demographics
■ Social and Economic Indicators
■ Access to Care
■ Maternal and Child Health
■ Crime and Public Safety
■ Health Care Utilization
