Bio
Edit

I am a nurse leader, author and coach with nearly 20 years experience in nursing and executive leadership. I am the former Director for Nursing Excellence and Magnet® Programs at Stanford Health Care where I was key member for three Magnet designations, spanning over 10 years.

I served as President of the Association of California Nurse Leaders (ACNL) — South Bay Chapter in 2019-2020 and was Co-Chair of the ACNL state-wide Membership Committee for three years.

In 2022 I departed SHC after nearly 15 years (and three Magnet® Designations). I am now blazing a new trail in the consulting space. Equal parts exhilarating and terrifying, it has been a very rewarding venture. I hope to take my years of Magnet experience, nursing leadership and nurse development out into the world where I can work with amazing organizations and people...and hopefully inspire and guide the next generation of nursing leaders as I was inspired by those before me.

Education:
Katie holds a bachelor’s in mathematics from William Jewell College and a bachelor’s in nursing from the University of Missouri. Katie received her master’s and doctorate degrees in nursing from the University of San Francisco.

  • Most recently I served as Director for Nursing Excellence & Magnet Programs at Stanford Health Care, where I partnered with nurses at all levels in shared decision-making and helped to foster a culture of inquiry – where asking "why” and challenging the "status quo" was not only encouraged...it was expected.
