ACTIVITIES
I’ve always been passionate about the medical field. I am constantly seeking out new information, articles and publications to enhance my clinical knowledge and skill set. I love children. They truly are our future. We have six children including a foster child that we love dearly. In addition, I positively enjoy cruising. I love teaching my children about the different places we visit and love to see their faces when they encounter new countries. I believe travel is necessary to foster a love of learning new cultures, languages and traditions.
