Additional Information
As a family, we decided it was best for me to leave my job in 2009 so I could raise our children and support my husband's career, which has involved frequent moves across the country. I spent the past 15 years volunteering in multiple communities in various ways, utilizing my nursing knowledge and experience. I have also completed yearly continuing education to maintain an active nursing license.
