- Fun Facts:

I was inspired by my sister in law, who is a nurse, when I was 11 to become a nurse. I loved to hear about her experiences in the hospital.

I was a surgical nurse in the hospital for years before becoming a school nurse. After I had my family my friend, who was a teacher, encouraged me to become a school nurse because I liked being around children. Becoming a school nurse was one of the best decisions I made in my life.

I love spending time with my granddaughter, she is pure joy. I also love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy being active and outdoors. I also love my dog, Callie who is loyal, loving and fun.
