To my husband, whose love, patience, and unwavering belief in me has supported every bold step I've taken since we met. Your love, encouragement, and kindness inspire me daily and I would not be who I am without you. You make every adventure better and every challenge easier.

And to our four living and goofy dogs, thank you for your daily reminders to stay present and grounded. Your unconditional love and playful chaos have made the journey filled with fun.

I owe heartfelt gratitude to an original bold leader and mentor in my life, Julie Hanser, whose wisdom and generosity profoundly shaped my leadership from my days as a graduate student at Xavier University and administrative fellow at Mercy Healthcare Partners.
