After a challenging and rewarding career in Fitness and Rehabilitation, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to stay at home and raise my three boys. As a recent empty-nester, I am now excited to re-enter the workforce. I feel that the part-time position of Exercise Specialist would be an excellent opportunity to combine my abilities and passion to make a difference in the lives of patients at Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center.
