Three Fun Facts About Me

1. I enjoy working with glass. I have a glass fusing kiln and my daughters are helping learn how to use it!
2. I bass fish... I wish I bass "catch".
3. I am the pack lead for two daughters, two dogs, two hammies, a lop buns, a mouse and a fish named "Toast".

Why do you love your job?

First and foremost, the kids crack me up! I also enjoy the challenge of explaining complicated medical topics in a way that is entertaining but also informative. On a more serious note, it is extremely rewarding to just be there to support a child or parent that is anxious about an illness in any way I can.
