Summary
I have volunteered over 20 years with the Special Olympics as well as Silver Cross hospital health booth to support health maintenance. I have volunteered as well as ran several marathons and IronMan. Health and fitness as well as promoting wellness is very important to me and I think this helps me uniquely with patient care. I look forward to new adventures and adapt very well.
