I began my career as a registered nurse in 1982. I loved taking care of patients. A few years later, I went through a divorce and had a great attorney. He helped me through a difficult process. He inspired me to go to law school. Now I get to help nurses through a difficult time.
I am a single mother of 3 chldren. They are my inspiration. They teach me everyday about patience and being present in the moment!
I love doing what I do and combining my love of nursing and healthcare with the law and being of service to people.
