Most recently, she has served with the University of New Mexico Health System, and as an operations executive in various roles across the country.

As a graduate of Silver High, Kathleen returns to her roots in Grant County. In her acceptance, Kathleen said, "I am thrilled to be selected. I love Silver City and GRMC, and I will make you proud." She is excited about building strong relationships with the GRMC staff, providers, and the community at large. We are very excited to welcome her aboard.
