“As part of Columbia University's Department of Surgery I had the privilege of working with world class clinicians from across every field and specialty. In my experience working with Denne, I have also seen how her experience, expertise, and character, would have an immediate and important impact on patient care. She adeptly incorporates her clinical experience into every aspect of her work and moves seamlessly from the latest, peer reviewed research insights to the concrete, hands-on demands of clinical medicine. In short, Denne can do it all and at the highest possible standard.”

Testimonials
“Denne brings a positive, inclusive presence that makes her easy to work with and highly approachable. She naturally builds strong relationships and encourages others to do the same. Colleagues often credit her support with helping them grow in confidence and engage more fully in collaborative work.”
“One of Denne’s strengths is her ability to build meaningful connections quickly. She cares deeply—not only about the work itself, but also about the people around her. Those relationships allow her to bring the right people together in ways that move the work forward.”
“Denne brings deep knowledge of practice operations and excels at coaching others. In one initiative, she helped the team refine their approach to user interviews, ensuring the right questions led to meaningful insights. Her supportive, constructive style built confidence and enabled team members to take greater ownership in their work.”
“Denne’s personal qualities are part of her greatest assets. She is curious, detail-oriented, intelligent and an excellent communicator in both verbal and written methods. She leads with humility and passion and always assumes others have something more to teach her.”
On Leadership
“Denne brings strong organization and attention to detail, as demonstrated in her development of the Tech Adoption [process]. She created a structured rollout process with defined steps, ownership, templates, and a dashboard, then trained the team to ensure clarity and confidence in using it. She also built in evaluation points to track effectiveness and refine the process over time—resulting in greater consistency in product rollouts and clearer alignment with cross-functional teams.”
“Denne identifies what the "it" is when working on projects. She asks the right questions and really hears feedback. Her curiosity, integrity and grit is unrivaled. She understands the global concepts as well as the very clinic/patient level. She is effective and insightful. The work she produces is valuable and actionable.”
“Denne played a key role in shaping a clear, actionable “Now, Next, Later” framework for a strategic initiative. She ensured each recommendation was grounded in user insights, making the logic both compelling and easy to follow. Her approach strengthened the credibility of the work and led to more meaningful stakeholder engagement.”
“Denne recently rallied 10+ practices to spend an hour each of their time talking to us about their software utilization. She did this through authentic persuasion and engagement, no small feat given how hard it has been for teams at [Company] to get enough time with customers to do deep learning.”
“In the four months I’ve worked with Denne, I’ve been consistently impressed by her deep commitment to [Company’s] mission and her embodiment of our core values. While she reflects all of them, her curiosity, service orientation, and sense of accountability stand out most. She approaches new challenges with determination and discipline—most notably in her recent role focused on improving overall App utilization. She proactively built her knowledge by researching product adoption strategies and learning how to use data to tell compelling stories. Denne is deeply service driven, always centering the needs of our practices and patients, while also being a generous and thoughtful collaborator. She holds herself to a high standard and works tirelessly to drive meaningful results.”
“Denne exhibits intellectual capacity and ability for both independent and collaborative work in her professional background. Since 2016, she has applied the nursing process to the utilization of upstream interventions to effect systems change for independent primary care practices. She has advanced her role from a Care Management Coordinator to a Director-level position, learned and adopted new skills and expertise including healthcare software and practice management. Prior to this work, her clinical focus involved direct patient care and clinical leadership. Denne led several patient-focused quality improvement initiatives during her tenure at Community of Hope including pediatric asthma clinics and adult obesity clinics, both of which continued to evolve following her departure. Her work on these two initiatives showcases her ability to apply the nursing process to the utilization of downstream interventions as well as a willingness and commitment to take on challenging health problems that are layered in social determinants. Diverse in her professional focus, her work is consistently tethered to health equity, compassionate care delivery and a commitment to social change.”
“Denne is committed to nursing excellence and recognizes that nurses are critical change-agents. She is distinct in her commitment to improve the health of individuals, their families and communities in diverse and meaningful ways; as a clinician providing direct, patient-centered care or a healthcare leader engaging a multi-disciplinary team to advocate for and implement models of value-based care. She is self-motivated, seeks new and varied learning experiences and works from a framework of improving what is broken. Denne has a clear purpose and a determination that inspires and motivates those around her.”
