Through more than a decade of leadership in post-acute care, Nena has been in roles that allowed her to grow and develop into a thriving leader, and she has been in roles that crushed her and created a feeling of failure. She started as a nurse's aide and worked her way up to corporate executive roles, determined to fix the broken systems she experienced.

Nena has her Master's in nursing administration. She is the Founder of Hart Healthcare Solutions, which helps post-acute care providers take back the operational health of their organization, stop the vicious cycle of agency use and critical staffing, enhance survey outcomes, and ultimately improve patient care.
