See below for one of the many ways you can grow your clinical career leveraging transferrable skills from an emergency medical technician (EMT) to a medical assistant to a registered nurse.

Medical assistants perform patient care under the physician and nurse’s direct supervision. Their duties include preparing each patient for the physician and administering, obtaining and recording diagnostic laboratory test results. They may also assist in coordinating care to meet patient needs including preparing, organizing and filing reports into the medical record.
Registered nurses perform an age specific plan of care for a designated group of patients using the nursing process of assessment, diagnosis, outcome identification, planning, implementation and evaluation of patient care. They collaborate with physicians and other team members in coordinating and implementing procedures and treatments. They also use leadership skills and clinical judgment in coordinating patient care while directing and delegating activities of the patient care unit team.

This year, the theme for Women’s History Month is: Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. We connected with two of our Northwell team members, Celenise and Caitlin, from the Women in Healthcare Business Employee Resource Group (BERG) at Northwell Health, who share their journeys and career experience. Join us as we explore how they utilized Northwell’s professional development resources to grow their careers and felt supported along the way.
Celenise M. Mahmood, senior learning and organizational development specialist, revenue cycle
Celenise was drawn to Northwell due to its renowned commitment to delivering high-quality patient care and its innovative approach to healthcare. In her current role, her primary responsibility is to design, implement and evaluate learning and development initiatives tailored specifically to the revenue cycle department. Celenise began her journey at Northwell in 2014 as an administrative support associate and grew within our organization with access to programs such as our BERGs, tuition assistance for continued education, career coaching and mentorship opportunities with seasoned healthcare leaders. In 2016, she transitioned to a financial counselor at Lenox Hill Hospital. Then, she was promoted to senior revenue cycle quality and performance analyst in 2018. Five years later, she was promoted to her current role of senior learning and organizational development specialist.
With over a decade of experience and through her networking connections, Celenise is a true advocate for her BERG members and a co-lead of the Women in Healthcare BERG membership development committee. She shares the importance of Northwell’s BERGs because, “becoming a BERG member has had a significant impact on my career journey at Northwell by providing opportunities for networking, mentorship and career coaching to help further my professional development.”
As a woman of Puerto Rican and Trinidadian heritage, Celenise feels our BERGs, like Women in Healthcare BERG, Hispanic Latino BERG, and African American/Caribbean BERG, reinforce this year’s theme of diversity, inclusion and belonging for Women’s History Month: “They provide a platform to connect and support one another, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and empowered workforce,” she said.
Caitlin Brown, registered nurse, Glen Cove Hospital
Caitlin Brown began her career at Northwell in 2019 as a newly graduated registered nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in the telemetry/medical surgical unit. In 2021, she transitioned to her current role as a registered nurse in the emergency department at Glen Cove Hospital. Northwell has supported Caitlin’s career journey in many ways as she is currently receiving tuition assistance as a graduate student in the Northwell Health Stony Brook University Cohort for her master’s degree in nursing education. She has participated in Northwell’s mentorship program at Glen Cove Hospital both as a mentee and now advocates for her fellow team members as a mentor in that same program. Caitlin is also certified in the trauma nursing core course (TNCC) and achieved level three (the highest level) within the clinical ladder program, now serving as the clinical ladder co-chair at Glen Cove Hospital. “Being a part of Northwell, these opportunities have truly paved the way to support my career goals and professional development,” shared Caitlin.
This year’s theme resonates closely with Caitlin, as an active member of the Women in Healthcare BERG, African American/Caribbean BERG and Glen Cove Hospital’s Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging Committee. Caitlin shared, “I will always be an advocate in our workplace and community. This year’s theme also aligns with Northwell’s mission and commitment to the Culture of C.A.R.E.”
When asked why Caitlin believes it is so important for Northwell to have BERGs, Caitlin shared, “BERGs are a significant part of being a team member at Northwell. BERGs enable team members to make connections, network and learn from those who share similar interests and backgrounds.”
Northwell’s Women in Healthcare BERG is hosting various celebrations and events during Women’s History Month, including panel discussions featuring influential female leaders in healthcare, fireside chats, networking opportunities, workshops focused on career advancement and empowerment and celebrating the achievements and contributions of outstanding women across Northwell through our Women Who Inspire Awards. At Northwell, we’re proud to showcase the experiences of Northwell team members, like Celenise and Caitlin, who share in our mission to advance equity, diversity and inclusion for all.

Meet Carmen Arana, CT technologist at Northwell Health Reichert Family Imaging in Huntington, NY. During her career journey as an imaging specialist, Carmen has had some unique opportunities to expand her skills in different ways.
She studied Radiologic Technology at Westchester Community College before joining Northwell Health in 2014, and with Northwell’s tuition reimbursement assistance, Carmen continued her education to achieve a Bachelor of Science in 2021 from the CUNY School of Professional Studies.
As a CT technologist, Carmen operates a computed tomography machine to create detailed images of internal organs, bones, soft tissue, and blood vessels. She helps prepare patients for various exams and ensures that the radiologist has all of the clear information needed to make an informed diagnosis. Her responsibilities also include managing the patient flow and assisting the x-ray department, when needed.
Carmen knows her role as an imaging specialist at Northwell is meaningful. “I am able to provide a safe and complete diagnostic exam using state-of-the-art technology,” she says. “This encounter alone can have a huge impact on how a patient’s treatment progresses. I enjoy helping patients have the best experience possible and appreciate the thanks I am given in return.”
When a patient sees an imaging specialist, it is often at the start of addressing a health concern. A CT technologist like Carmen will guide a patient through what may feel like an intimidating examination. From collecting and entering health history to analyzing the number of scans required, a CT technologist aims to make the process as smooth as possible for every patient. Careful attention to detail results in reduced time under scanning equipment and more efficient outcomes.
When asked what makes working as a CT technologist at Northwell unique, Carmen says that it’s the different opportunities that team members are given to use and grow their skills. “I had a one-of-a-kind opportunity to work with The Nature Conservancy to scan samples of water from various marshes in our area. It was a project designed to help improve the quality of the water around Long Island. Having the ability to apply my knowledge in an area outside of my direct responsibilities gave me learning experiences I may not have otherwise been able to take advantage of.”
Carmen’s next step in expanding her knowledge is her intention to pursue a Master of Science in Health Informatics.

Celebrating the success and professional development of our team members is something we get excited about at Northwell Health. Our 50+ mentorship programs help prepare our employees for the next step in their career journey through the support and guidance of our seasoned Health Raisers who raise their hands to share knowledge, open doors to their network and provide training experiences. The mentorship program is structured with workshops, a series of check-ins, both virtual and in person, lectures and engaging presentations with guest speakers.
During National Mentoring Month in January, three Northwell team members share their experience being a part of the Northwell Mentorship Experience (NME) program. This mentorship program builds knowledge, fosters connections and lifelong relationships, and develops skills for leaders and team members working toward the next step in their career journey.
Kerlene Richards, DNP RN NE-BC CCRN manager, patient care – Mentor
As the manager of patient care at Long Island Jewish Valley Stream (LIJVS), Kerlene Richards is a nurse leader who builds relationships centered on trust and respect among our patients, their families and our team members. Kerlene found participating in the NME program to be very rewarding and shared, “I was able to share my experiences, offer guidance on various career paths and assist in creating networking experiences to help my mentee fulfill her goals.”
When asked about what kind of impact she hoped to make while participating in the program, Kerlene said, “This experience provided me with a platform to create a positive impact on mentees and our organization by enhancing communication, promoting collaboration among team members and offering a sense of community and support.”
As a Northwell team member for over 14 years, Kerlene believes mentorship and development programs play a crucial role in promoting diversity and inclusion while providing support to underrepresented groups. “These programs foster creativity and innovation where employees can learn from each other. The program is full of workshops and valuable organizational insights which fosters collaboration and cohesion among team members of different cultural backgrounds.”
Kala Melbourne, advisor, human resources fair employment practices – Mentee
Kala Melbourne started her career at Northwell 10 years ago as an on-boarding associate on the talent acquisition team. She moved into an HR compliance specialist role and continued her career journey as a senior HR specialist of Fair Employment Practices and to her role today. Now, Kala helps lead Northwell’s visa support services for prospective candidates, sponsored team members and visiting research scholars/scientists to support the recruitment and retention of top international talent.
As a mentee in the NME program, Kala shared, “The NME program was essential to my continued career development and growth at Northwell. My mentor introduced me to a network of team members that helped expand my organizational knowledge of other areas and functions within Northwell. I now have more confidence to achieve my goals.”
Erick Pajuelo, assistant nurse manager, emergency department – Mentee
As an assistant nurse manager of emergency services at Glen Cove Hospital, Erick Pajuelo’s role is both clinical and administrative. His current responsibilities include scheduling, covering a charge nurse role when present on the unit, facilitating an environment of care and addressing any patient needs. Erick started at Northwell in 2016 as a rehabilitation aide before he became a registered nurse in both telemetry and emergency services. Erick’s career journey continued at Glen Cove Hospital to his promotion and current role as an assistant nurse manager.
Erick became involved in the NME program as a mentee because it is a great opportunity to collaborate with a mentor and evolve in your role. He shared, “I loved being a part of this program because I was able to grow professionally and network with a leader from another Northwell facility. Any opportunity to learn and collaborate with an experienced professional is a privilege and can open up new doors for the most seasoned professionals.”
When asked about what kind of impact he hopes to make while participating in the program, Erick said, “I always hope to learn as much as I can and bring that knowledge back to my unit and leadership team, as well as share new ideas with the emergency department or at a facility level.”

Anthony Quintana’s path to a career in medicine was far from conventional and marked by his service in the United States Marine Corps when he made the transition back into civilian life. Explore Anthony’s remarkable journey to healthcare, starting with his military service and commitment to supporting fellow veterans, and learn why he pivoted from an accounting career to his current role as a critical care physician assistant in the Tele-ICU at Northwell Health.
Shortly after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Anthony made the courageous decision to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. During his service, he rose to the rank of Sergeant (E-5) in which his military experience instilled in him a strong sense of discipline, values, leadership and resilience. After completing his military service, Anthony pursued higher education, earning an associate’s degree in accounting. Just after starting his career in accounting, he soon realized accounting was not the right role for him. He felt it was so far removed from what he did in the military, and he needed to look toward a path in something else where the skills he learned in the Marine Corps were more transferrable. He began to volunteer at a nearby veteran hospital and this experience would ultimately set the stage for opening doors toward a new career path within a totally different industry.
While volunteering at a nearby veteran hospital, he crossed paths with one of his future mentors, a physician assistant and army veteran who would play a pivotal role in reshaping Anthony’s career aspirations from accounting to a completely new path. His mentor recognized that Anthony was then driven by a desire to make a difference and to help others, so he encouraged him to pursue higher education in healthcare. When he graduated with a dual degree, earning a bachelor’s in healthcare studies and a master’s in physician assistant studies, Anthony was equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the next step of his career journey into healthcare.
Anthony joined Northwell as a physician assistant in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) before working at another hospital in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) with additional coverage in the Coronary Care Unit. His experiences in these critical care settings helped hone his clinical skills. Today in his current role as a critical care physician assistant in the Tele-ICU at Northwell, Anthony uses telehealth platforms to manage critically ill patients across the entire Northwell system. His ability to adapt to new technologies and provide high-quality care virtually, highlights his commitment to delivering exceptional patient care.
“Northwell has a system of support that allows myself and others like me to succeed,” says Anthony, “Northwell recognizes veterans for their service and commitment to their country and prioritizes resources to give us the support we need.” Anthony completed programs like “Mentoring and Professionalism in Training” and is currently a group leader for a new mentorship program cohort. He’s also nearing completion of the “Essentials of Leadership Course” and was nominated for our 2024 LeadNEXT leadership development program. Reflecting on the organization’s commitment to reinvest in its employees, Anthony plans to pursue an MBA in healthcare analytics with financial assistance through Northwell’s tuition reimbursement program at Hofstra University. In addition to his professional growth, Anthony is an active member of the organization “PAs in Virtual Medicine and Telemedicine,” a caucus of the American Academy of Physician Assistants. His involvement emphasizes his dedication to raising awareness about the vital roles physician assistants play in telemedicine.
Anthony’s story serves as an inspiration for all who seek to transition from the military to a fulfilling civilian career. His journey is a testament to his commitment to service and his dedication to making a difference. His experiences in the military and his educational and professional growth at Northwell reflect his resilience and passion for helping others, particularly fellow veterans. Northwell’s support and commitment to its employees have assisted Anthony to thrive and make a meaningful impact in his healthcare career. “I would advise any veteran to continue to serve their community with Northwell, where you know you can make a difference.”

At Northwell Health, the goal of our Advanced Clinical Provider (ACP) Mentorship Program is to enhance the skills development process for nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) during their first few months as a new team member. Created four years ago with only 20 mentors and mentees in total — today, the program has more than quadrupled in size with participants developing clinical and non-clinical skills, essential to a successful career in healthcare management at Northwell.
Four team members from this year’s program, Annelisa Tucker (PA), Anthony Santos (PA), Jessica Darby (NP) and Noelia MaGowan (NP), shared their experiences about how valuable it was to participate in the ACP Mentorship Program at Northwell.
Annelisa Tucker – Mentee
Annelisa is an ENT (ear, nose and throat) physician assistant at Northwell Health. Before the start of the program, Annelisa shared that she was excited to connect with someone who can encourage her development and advise her through the beginning of her career. “I hope to not only learn ways in which I can advocate for myself in my current role, but also to learn how to advocate for the PA profession.” After completing the ACP Mentorship Program, she was paired with a senior PA in the same specialty and shared that being a part of this program exceeded her expectations and was instrumental for her career growth.
“I appreciate my mentor’s guidance and support throughout the onboarding process at Northwell. She was open to sharing stories from various challenges that she has faced throughout her career and how she managed to navigate and overcome them. I hope to apply her advice if I am faced with similar scenarios.” What surprised Annelisa the most about the program was seeing how many senior ACPs wanted to invest in the development of junior ACPs within the organization. “It was inspiring to see how many mentors wanted to give back and foster the career development of newer ACPs. I hope to become a mentor one day and pay it forward to future mentees at Northwell.”
Anthony Santos – Mentor
Anthony is the senior physician assistant in otolaryngology at Glen Cove Hospital. Excited to have been a part of this program, he expressed, “this program is truly wonderful. It is a learning experience for both the mentor and mentee as we build our professional network, support and guidance. As once being a new employee myself, I can understand how tough it can be to join a new health system and not know the ins and outs of my responsibilities or have the direction to build my career. The relationship between me and my mentee is built to last and does not end after the program ends.”
Jessica Darby – Mentor/Program Coordinator
Jessica is a senior nurse practitioner (NP) care navigator with Northwell Health Solutions and the ‘Follow Your Heart’ team, which visits open heart patients at home after they have been discharged from the hospital. Before the start of the program, Jessica shared, “I want to help ease the transition for anyone entering our health system as an ACP.” After first completing the program as a mentor, she found it was valuable for her career growth within Northwell and wanted to continue to give back.
“In my role as a mentor/program coordinator, I am able to help fellow ACPs navigate their mentor/mentee relationship,” she shared. “It was rewarding to witness how dedicated the team of mentors are about ensuring a positive introduction for our new team members.”
Noelia MaGowan – Mentee
As a pediatric nurse practitioner for Cohen Children’s Medical Center, Noelia believes initiatives like the ACP Mentorship Program increases confidence, enhances leadership skills and provides networking opportunities. “Being a part of a mentorship program with a network of experienced professionals at Northwell builds valuable relationships, allows newer team members to gain exposure to different types of healthcare environments and grants us access to resources that enhance our professional growth.”
Mentorship is one of the many ways Northwell can provide an opportunity for team members to grow in their career and create their own success. Become a Health Raiser as an Advanced Clinical Provider at Northwell Health.

Join us as we celebrate inclusivity, connection and our commitment to building a better world during Filipino American History Month. This year, with a theme of “Recognizing 125 Years of Philippine-American History,” it is a time we can reflect on the past and celebrate the future with our community.
This October, we are featuring two Northwell team members who are part of our Asian Bridges Business Employee Resource Group (BERG) and sharing their journeys and career experience as Filipino Americans. Originally attracted to Northwell for its many opportunities, focus on innovation, and supportive culture – these individuals both believe Northwell’s commitment to team member development through resources like our BERGs and continuing education has been essential to their career growth.
Christine Mejilla assists in the management of many surgical programs and oversees surgical residencies and fellowships, including the Colon and Rectal Fellowship and the Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency and Fellowship. As a first generation Filipino and a daughter of immigrant parents, Christine’s path to healthcare was most influenced by her mother, a retired registered dietitian. Her time with Northwell began in 2013 as a GME training program administrator in podiatry at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills (LIJFH). Six years later, she transitioned to North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) as a GME training program administrator for the department of surgery. At the end of 2022, she was promoted to her current role and was recently accepted into Northwell’s Mentorship Experience Program.
Over her 10 years here, Christine has witnessed the organization’s growth and achievements – believing that Northwell has been instrumental in her career growth through access to various programs, including our BERGs, tuition reimbursement toward her master’s degree in health administration and participating in the Management Accelerator and Executive Leadership program, a mentorship program designed in partnership with McKinsey and Company.
Christine highlights the importance of our BERGs in fostering diversity, education, and inclusion in the workplace. “Being a member of the Asian Bridges BERG helped provide me with opportunities to participate in the Management Accelerator and Executive Leadership program and make valuable networking connections within our organization.”
Mark Dagan began his career as a registered nurse and transitioned to nursing informatics due to his passion for technology, data and its impact on healthcare in our communities. In his current role as a lead clinical informatics specialist, Mark now assists in evaluating remote monitoring solutions and leads inpatient-focused implementation projects to generate clinical data for organization-wide research.
As a member of the Asian Bridges BERG, Mark participates in community events, receives access to professional development programs, and networks and builds relationships with others across Northwell. “Being part of the Asian BERG has allowed me to meet and learn from other team members who share a similar cultural background and be open to expanding my network with those who have gone through similar experiences.”
At Northwell, we’re proud to showcase the rich stories and experiences of Northwell team members, like Christine and Mark, who share in our mission to advance diversity, inclusion and health equity for all.

In his time at Northwell, Michael has gained more opportunities and grown his career in retail pharmacy more than he ever thought possible.

He believes that Vivo Health is unique to other pharmacy retail companies because here he has been able to advance into positions that are traditionally reserved for pharmacists in other retail companies. “I have been very fortunate at Vivo to have people around me who wanted me to succeed, listened to my ideas and allowed me the freedom to implement them.”
When asked if he could offer any advice to those looking to start a career in pharmacy at Northwell, Michael encourages anyone starting their career to get as much experience as possible, build relationships with a pharmacist and fellow technicians and to never be afraid to ask questions.

At Northwell Health, we strive to create a work environment that celebrates all of our team members and allows for a more inclusive conversation where everyone feels valued and respected.
In recognition of Autism Acceptance Month, Northwell’s N-Able BERG members (Business Employee Resource Groups) are working to host and spread awareness about a number of programs, courses and events being offered across the health system from ally ship and neurodiversity in the workplace, to working parent community support group sessions that provide a safe place for learning, healing and wellness.
“We wanted to take an opportunity during Autism Acceptance Month to spread awareness and support for our Northwell team members with autism, as well our team members with loved ones who have autism and understanding our community,” says Ines Vanboom, assistant vice president, Workforce Readiness and co-chair of the N-Able BERG. “This month not only allows our team members to educate themselves on this complex neurological disorder, but also provides more opportunities to connect with each other across the organization.”
The N-Able BERG was formed to advocate, educate and support a diverse workforce, while providing a safe environment for individuals with disabilities and for our team members with disabilities, so they can thrive within the organization. “The N-Able BERG has helped me gain a greater understanding, compassion and appreciation for individuals with a disability and in particular individuals who are neurodiverse. I had to step out of my comfort zone and be part of discussions where I am not a subject matter expert but that experience and learning about the community makes me a more well-rounded individual and ultimately a better Northwell team member.”

Meet Jennifer Megale, director of advanced clinical providers (ACP) at North Shore University Hospital. Jennifer’s dedication to leadership development and training has led to her successful career at Northwell Health.
Jennifer began her journey at Northwell during her clinical rotations as a Physician Assistant (PA) while attending school at Touro College from 2008-2010. That is the first time she felt a sense of community unlike anywhere else she’d ever been. “Northwell has always felt like a close-knit family. Leaders make themselves readily available because they truly want the best for their employees and our patients,” says Jennifer.
In 2011, Jennifer took a position as a general surgery ACP at North Shore University Hospital. While in this role, she participated in Northwell’s leadership development programs to continue her passion for learning over the next eight years. This led her to a promotion to ACP supervisor for the department of surgery at North Shore University Hospital in 2018. “Northwell’s leadership essentials courses and numerous mentorship programs have really helped me develop my skills and network with other leaders in the health system.”
Today, in her current role as ACP director at North Shore University Hospital, Jennifer oversees ACPs in the departments of general surgery, surgical intensive care, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, peripheral and neurological interventional radiology, liver and kidney transplant, urology, and pre-surgical testing. A large portion of Jennifer’s role is spent developing future leaders and mentoring supervisors. A typical day for Jennifer involves multiple one-on-one meetings with supervisors to discuss ongoing issues, finding solutions, and working on refining their leadership skills. “Developing leaders is truly so important in employee engagement which directly correlates to the patient experience,” says Jennifer.
When asked what she loves most about her job at Northwell, Jennifer shared, “The most rewarding thing for me is to be able to take all the skills I have learned from various mentors and leadership development programs and channel them into developing future ACPs. Helping others see what they are capable of, while also focusing on employee engagement, and in turn patient satisfaction, brings me so much joy.”
At Northwell, we strive to give our team members as many opportunities as we can to help them continue their career growth journey.
