Naomi started as a nursing intern. Today she leads a team of 22.
At Pepper Health, careers are designed to compound. 71% of our managers were promoted from within — here is one journey, and yours could look just as ambitious.
A memorable moment for me was standing up the night-shift residency I wished I'd had — and watching the first cohort become charge nurses.
I never had to leave to grow. Every couple of years there was a new chapter waiting, and a manager who actively wanted me to outgrow them.
