Founded Bridgeway Hospice in 2021

We started Bridgeway Hospice with hopes and dreams to provide quality care in our local community. We quickly discovered the need to care for more people and felt our servant-like approach in business was exactly what was missing.  
My goal is to increase awareness of the home health and hospice setting and with our multi-skilled team we continue to surpass that goal year over year. It is my passion to decrease barriers and access to care by being active in bipartisan policies to promote home health and hospice.
I understand the importance of political influences, the effects of the legislation, and how they can directly impact healthcare. By utilizing our post-acute community partners, we as a team can promote to keep our clients healthy at home while maintaining a cost-efficient approach.

Born and raised in the Austin area, I am a proud mom of two and spend much of my free time with family, often cheering on my son at his sporting events. I joined Bridgeway in 2022 and currently serve as Executive Director of the Bridgeway to Care Foundation.

I am actively involved in TAHCH committees and deeply committed to advocating for hospice care, fostering continuous learning, and empowering team growth to better serve our communities. My dedication to improving the quality of care in our region was highlighted in the Hays Free Press, and I strive every day to strengthen our impact.

I hold CHAP Healthcare Sales Certification and bring a passion for excellence and community-focused care to everything I do.
