Grateful to be featured in COLOR Magazine's 40 Under 40 Power List for 2023! Ending the year with this recognition is truly heartwarming as creating space and opportunity for others is at the core of what I do and why I do it. Extending my heartfelt gratitude to Mytrice Allen, the team at COLOR, and all those who have supported my career journey in any shape or form. Cheers to making more waves in 2024! 🥂 #40Under40 #PowerList #DEI #ColorMagazine

This recognition came as a complete surprise to me when I found out. I am still in shock, but thrilled to receive this year's COLOR Magazines’ 40 Under 40 Powerlist. I would have never imagined being remotely considered for something like this. I feel incredibly honored to be recognized among such an inspiring group of young professionals of color who are making a difference in their respective fields. Almost two years ago, I switched careers, and I've worked extremely hard to learn, grow, and try my absolute best to make health care safer and better tomorrow as best I can, and in my own way. I will continue to work hard to empower and support healthcare workers, organizations, and patients alike so we can achieve the best health outcomes possible. I would not have received this honor without the backing of Michigan Health & Hospital Association , MHA Keystone Center, and my colleagues, who are also working just as hard to improve patient safety and quality. I would like to thank my director, Adam Novak, MA, CPPS, for not only supporting my work, but making sure I have the tools that I need to be effective. I would also like to thank our PSO members for trusting me to lead and dedicating their time and expertise to patient safety work. They truly deserve all the credit. Without them, none of this would be possible. To my friends and family, thank you for cheering me on in my professional career. Most importantly, I would like to thank my wife for supporting my decision to switch careers. Your belief in me gave all the strength I needed to make the leap into a profession that I feel passionate about. There is still much work to be done in this space, and I am committed to learning more and becoming a better person because of it. #COLORMagazine #40Under40 #patientsafety #safety&quality
