Accomplishments

I have always wanted to travel and have now raised my three successful children and have been given the opportunity to start my adventures. I have always enjoyed my career as a respiratory therapist. There is no greater joy than helping others. Recently I have been presented the award for employee of the month at my current employer. I feel truly honored. I feel very fortunate to have worked for such a great hospital. At this time with the pandemic I feel my calling is to help where I can be the most beneficial in this time of need. I currently work full time at a hospital but also work part-time at a doctors office doing pft and managing a Cpap and Bipap compliance clinic. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the ukulele and belong to the Florida ukulele society. I also enjoy hiking, walking my dogs, and enjoying the outdoors.
