Grow With Us: Meet Liz!

Meet Liz! Liz has been a Horizon team member since 2013, serving as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. In her nearly 12 years at Horizon, Liz has had many opportunities for personal and professional growth. Continue reading to learn more about how she has developed throughout the years.

What kinds of trainings/ad hoc committees/workgroups have you been a part of that have supported your growth?

We are allotted funds each year that allow us to attend virtual or in-person seminars and conferences for continuing education and networking. We also have quarterly in-person meetings, as well as meetings every 2-3 weeks with the team of Nurse Practitioners to focus on our growth and development.

Can you speak to the mentorship relationships you’ve developed over the years and how these have helped you grow?

When I was a new graduate in 2013, I was able to link with one of the Senior Nurse Practitioners for supervision and mentorship. I’ve also been able to collaborate closely with a Psychiatrist throughout my time at Horizon. Both have provided me with the support needed for me to continue to grow.

Our team of Nurse Practitioners has grown significantly over the years. There is always someone available to review cases with, discuss new evidence-based practices, and provide support during our team meetings. I have also been able to take Horizon University courses, such as Motivational Interviewing techniques, to help me grow professionally.

Do you have any goals for further growth within your role at Horizon?

I have always felt supported and appreciated in my role at Horizon. I hope to continue to learn and grow with my colleagues to provide support and hope to those we serve.

What would you say to someone who may be interested in growing in their career with Horizon?

Horizon is a great company to work for. This field can be a very demanding and sometimes draining to work in, but I have always felt supported by this team. Horizon fosters opportunities to grow in your career, expand your knowledge, and encourages prioritizing self-care and maintaining a positive work-life balance.
