Through her dedicated leadership skills, the nurses at UGMC are unique in rendering evidence-based care to the patients/clients who call at the facility for treatment.
She set up a Premium Ward for use in the facility, which gives High Profile Clients or Patients the extra privacy and comfort they need during their time at the facility.

Leading by example, she goes to the ward to practice her nursing skills, demonstrating to her staff compassionate nursing care interventions, therapeutic communication skills, and emotional intelligence in nursing practice.
She organizes training and continuous professional development programs for the staff of the facility by inviting facilitators with expertise from outside the facility.
