I have known that I wanted to be a nurse since I was 14 years old and became a Red Cross Volunteer at a local hospital. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for helping others.

Family means everything to me. I am the youngest of 4 children and my sister is my best friend. My greatest joys in life are my husband, my son, and my border collies.

When I am not working or spending time with my family, I am always working on some sort of home project because I can't seem to sit still! I am obsessed with the Miami Dolphins, Wonder Woman, and the movie series Underworld. In fact, I love anything that has to do with werewolves! (Don't judge!)
