Rebecca worked in nonprofit leadership and major gift fundraising for almost 30 years before deciding to go back to school at age 52 to pursue her dream of becoming a health care professional. 

While Rebecca’s career has taken many different turns, she has always wanted to be a health care provider. She wants to have a very direct impact on the community so that she can see how her daily work makes a tangible and positive difference in people's lives.
