Nursing Professional
With more than 30 years in diverse healthcare settings. As a professional,
I have worked with various levels of professionals. Having experience in
direct patient care, I have also worked in many aspects of care delivery in
teaching or supervisory capacity. My knowledge base is wide and my skills
above average. Working as a team member is very important to me in order to
achieve and provide superior care in any health care setting.
Hobbies and Interests
When not working I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, gardening or
running. Having completed 12 marathons and dozen half marathons, I stay
fit both mentally and physically. If not running, I can be found enjoying
other outdoor activities with my 4 dogs. Having volunteered for years with
a local Human Society, my husband and I have fostered over 100 small dogs
or puppies, finding them new forever homes. My husband and I have also led
small bible study groups in our home and work closely with the church in
other activities.
