Interesting fact(s) about yourself:

Nursing is my 3rd career. I am a 3rd degree black belt and certified Taekwondo instructor. I taught kids and adults Taekwondo; but my favorite class was the Tiny Tigers (3-6 year olds). After I got my BS in Healthcare Management, I worked in clinical trials for a dermatology practice. I quickly fell in love with patient care and decided to go to nursing school. 

 

Anything you want to share about your family?

I have been with my husband for 12 years. He's a CRNA at Children's of Alabama

 

What do you like to do in your spare time? 

We enjoyed traveling prior to the pandemic and are starting to get back into it. I really enjoy skiing, exercising, and playing with our dog. 

 

What is your most irrational fear?

I am constantly hyper-aware of the risk of food poisoning. I won't eat/drink anything that is expired even by a day. 

 

What are you most proud of?

My family. My husband takes care of children and their families during one of the scariest times of their lives, surgery. He's an excellent clinician and advocate. I am also proud of finishing my PhD. It was the most challenging thing that I have ever done but I learned something every step of the way. 

 

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

Switzerland - I would love to go skiing in the French Alps.
Or Brazil to see Carnival
