Vicky’s professional journey has encompassed roles as a critical care nurse, healthcare administrator, policy analyst, and faculty member. I hold doctorates in nursing and public health and recently completed a certification in bioethics. As a life-professed Lay Dominican, my faith and commitment to ethical principles deeply inform my practice. She is particularly concerned about the increasing complexity of ethical challenges facing Catholic nurses today—particularly those that threaten the innate dignity of human life and core moral principles.

She is committed to expanding membership and developing robust educational programs that equip us to nourish ourselves spiritually and professionally, serve our patients with integrity, and strengthen bonds with Catholic colleagues. Equally vital, is my commitment to advocating for healthcare policies that align with Catholic ethical principles, uphold religious freedoms, and protect the rights of the most vulnerable among us.
