Board of Directors

Hello everyone! My name is Jaime Uecker and I am your President for the 2024-2025 GMAC year! I am currently a clinical educator at Froedtert Menomonee Falls Hospital for the ICU and MCU's. I live in Hartford, WI with my 2 children, Olivia (10) and Landon (8). They keep me busy with soccer, baseball, swimming, volleyball, and basketball. We love to go camping and fishing in our spare time. I look forward to working with everyone for another year! ~Jaime

I am pleased to serve on the board as vice president, in charge of educational sessions since the fall of 2022. One of my favorite quotes is from Florence Nightingale “Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses…we must be learning all our lives.”  I have been a nurse since 1995 graduating from Marian University. I obtained my MSN, educator focus in 2021 from Cardinal Stritch University. I worked at Froedtert West Bend Hospital in the ICU from 2001 to December of 2023 when I transitioned to clinical educator RN for the ICU, MCU (progressive care) and the STAT/VAT nurses. I am married with four children and two grandchildren. I enjoy photography, nature, and travel. Critical care is my passion and I look forward to networking with so many diverse nurses in the area. 

Hi, my name is Samantha Hendricks and I am your treasurer-elect. This is my first year of membership with GMAC. I have been a nurse for 7 years and I currently am the Nurse Manager on the Modified Care Unit at Froedtert Menomonee Falls Hospital. Outside of work, my husband and I enjoy frequently traveling, are devoted Milwaukee Brewer Fans and working our way through attending a baseball game at all MLB stadium. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and getting more involved with nursing organizations outside of work to advocate for such a great profession.

This is my second year on the chapter board & am excited to transition from Social Media & Outreach to Secretary & Membership for the 2025 fiscal year! 

I joined GMAC in late 2022 & have been a nurse since 2012. The majority of my nursing experience has been in Cardiac Progressive Care at Froedtert Hospital as staff RN, charge RN, & unit educator. I also have experience as Assistant Nurse Manager of the ICU & Modified Care Units at FWBH as well as Heart Failure Nurse Coordinator for Froedtert Hospital. I currently work as a Patient Safety Specialist supporting the Froedtert Health Enterprise. Outside of work I am recently married to my wonderful husband & we have 2 boys who keep us busy with all their sporting events! I also enjoy traveling, photography, attending sporting events & concerts, & going for walks with my dog as well as bike rides.

I have a passion for continued learning & both personal & professional growth & look forward to continuing my time on the Board of Directors for GMAC! 

I have served on the GMAC Board for the last 4 years. I will assume the President-Elect role in July. I have been a nurse for the past 13 years. I’m currently the nurse manager of the Intensive Care Unit at Froedtert Menomonee Falls. My career history includes staff nursing, nursing supervision, and clinic nursing. I’ve always had a passion for critical care nursing starting as a nurse extern in the CV-ICU at Aurora St Lukes. 

Hello! I am excited to be joining the board this year as VP elect.  I have been a nurse for 18 years with 9 years in critical care. Born and raised in the Lake Country area, I was lucky enough to spend part of my career as a travel nurse and experience what this country has to offer.  Currently working in the SICU at Froedtert, I serve on various committees including Daisy, Meaningful Nurse Milestones, Development Council, and Retention and Recruitment. I recently started my journey to obtain my masters in nursing, leadership focused. When I'm not at work, I can be found spending time with family, my dog, or on a paddleboard somewhere.
