I’m a mom, a nurse, an educator, an author and just like most of you, I’m a work in progress. I’m worth the work and so are you.

I  found my calling as a nurse while helping to care for my father, who was in declining health. He was a military man who smoked regularly and didn’t have the best eating habits. These habits eventually manifested themselves in a series of strokes and heart attacks, the last one so massive he couldn’t fight his way back from it. That was the catalyst. I vowed then and there, I’d be the best cardiac nurse in the world.
