    Rose Sullivan, RN, Operations Manager for TFOS, brings a breadth of knowledge to the Society from both the medical and administrative perspective. Originally trained as a critical care nurse, responsible for the coronary care unit, Rose has exhibited her leadership and organizational skills in several key medical centers including Mt. Auburn Hospital, Cambridge, MA; University of Minnesota Medical Center, Minneapolis, MN; and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Hanover, NH.

    Following more than a decade in nursing, Rose re-angled her intensive care specialty and re-focused on a different side of customer service, residential real estate.
