She’s a family-loving nurse with a heart for hiking, deep faith, and caring for others through every season of life.

Q: Title or Position Home Care Nurse Q: Any personal items you want to throw out there? Married to my husband, Shane. We are a blended family with 4 beautiful children and 8 lovely grandbabies. Q: Any hobbies? Hiking and walking, spending time with my family. Q: School/University and Degree LPN school at Gadsden State Community College Currently attending LPN-RN school at Snead State Community College Q: What do you find most rewarding about your job? Loving on people. Being there for our patients and their families during some of the most difficult times in their lives is a huge blessing to me personally. Q: What’s your spirit animal and why? I think a dog. Dogs are loyal, they thrive when surrounded by people, they love unconditionally, and they form strong emotional bonds. Most dogs do not like change. Dogs remind us to lead with the heart, stay connected, and be a light in others’ lives. Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? The Holy Land, to walk where Jesus walked. Q: If you could swap jobs with anyone for a day, who would it be and why? A mortician or undertaker. I find it so interesting and would love to have a look behind the scenes. Q: What inspired you to pursue a career in healthcare? My genuine love for people and wanting to make a difference in their lives. I feel like hospice and nursing allow me to be the hands and feet of Jesus. It is truly serving others and one of the greatest blessings in my life. Q: What’s one thing you wish the general public understood better about hospice, palliative care, or grief support? Hospice is not where life stops. It is where each breath is honored. It is where love deepens, where stories are shared, quiet hands are held, and laughter comes through tears. Hospice is so much more than the end. It is not about death at all. (fb)
