Nancy comes to Guest House Ocala with over three decades of management experience, with close to twenty of those years in Substance Abuse and Mental Health. She has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and returned to school for a Master’s in Social Work. Additionally, she has received professional certifications in health care quality, and Lean Six Sigma.
Prior to working in the treatment field Nancy was working in the engineering field building bridges. Due to her own personal recovery journey, she made a life decision to build different bridges to help people suffering from trauma and addictions. She joined Judy Crane in 2003 and has worked with her to help create exceptional trauma treatment services in separate facilities.
Nancy’s passion lies behind the scenes in the delivery of quality healthcare services with a proven track record of lucrative outcomes by taking multiple healthcare and training organizations through successful licensing and accreditation with The Joint Commission, CARF, NBCC, NADAAC, and FCB, but also through creating measurable performance improvement initiatives, strategic planning and assisting facilities in raising the bar on the quality of care. Nancy has also been involved in outcome studies using evidence-based research, writing trauma curriculum for master’s level college credits, and remains active on several regulatory committees.
When she isn’t working, she is involved in working with others through volunteer work and enjoying a quiet life with her four cats, Bear, Mitch, Minxie, and Winnie.
