About me: I have been married for 24 years to my high school sweetheart. I have two beautiful daughters, ages 23 and 18. My oldest daughter also works for UTMB as a nurse. My family loves everything Disney!
How long at UTMB: 21 years and counting.
Best thing about my job: I get great satisfaction in being in a role that I can make a small difference in someone's life.
Most challenging thing about my job: When a patient’s insurance does not cover services for a patient that needs medical services.
My favorite quote: “We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths”—Walt Disney
My heroes: My mother is my hero. She taught me the importance of helping others in need. She taught me to show compassion and be kind-hearted because you never know what someone may be going through.
My life outside of work: Spending time with my family and traveling. I enjoy photography and watching my daughter play volleyball. I love volunteering for several charities in my community.
My life in six words: Love deeply, laugh often, make memories.
