Have traveled all over the world, as a missionary living in South America, China, and the Philippians until the year 2000. Graduated from Nursing and worked for one year at NF Regional Hospital in Gainesville, in the Cardiac Cath lab, then transitioned to the VA in Lake City, FL.
Enjoy working with the veteran population at the VA. They are a special group, and I have learned a lot about life and people working with them.
Will be retiring from the VA in December this year, and looking for a part time job to keep me busy.
