Hello! I am very excited to join the AAHS team! I am blessed to be among students who are interested in healthcare fields. I am looking forward to helping our students promote and maintain good health. Additionally, with experiences as an EMT, medical assistant, dialysis technician, pediatric nurse, school nurse, and nurse practitioner, I hope to be a source of information for students exploring their professional interests.
I live with my husband, 2 daughters, and our dogs. I enjoy exploring national parks, hiking, biking, reading, and making desserts.
Please stop by during your free time to chat about your interests!
