Bio

My life goals are to help others. Growing up in a home where alcoholism was a problem and seeing my father struggle to get sober was an integral part of my thought process. So many helpers and encouragers along the way added to his and our family success. As Muhammad Ali said “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” I feel that nursing is a service I can use to help pay my “rent”.

    I saw my grandmother heal after complications with a total hysterectomy by listening to Van Morrison. Weird, huh? But I saw her smile more and get stronger every day listening to songs like “When the healing has begun “ and “into the mystic”. So although I’m not a Van Fan, I love his music for giving her hope. Giving back to my community is something I’ve endeavored to do all my life through service projects and school projects to fund the needs of our town. As Mohammed Ali said, “service to others is the rent we pay for our space here on earth”. I hope to pay my rent and help others pay theirs as well. In the meantime, rock on Grandma!
