When I was 12, my paternal grandmother had a stroke. I decided then to become a nurse. I wanted to help people like my grandmother. I entered the healthcare field when I was just 18 and have been part of it ever since. I started as an LPN and have continued advancing my education up to earning a doctorate. Training new providers in the profession I love is part of my role as a clinical preceptor. I'm a mother of four and a grandmother of six. I live on and manage a small farm with cattle, fainting goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys and peacocks. My animals bring me a lot of joy. The farm takes up much of my time when I'm away from work, so I consider it my primary hobby. I love spending time there - or anywhere - with my big family.
