I have had the pleasure of serving as the school nurse at Polaris for over 16 years. It has been an amazing journey for me as I get to work with some of the most amazing students, parents and staff. I have been truly blessed. Prior to working in the Anchorage School District I was a wound care nurse, and for the first 14 years in the district I also worked as a mother baby nurse.
I was born in Texas, and we moved to Alaska 6 weeks later. I like to say I started off on vacation and that is why I love to travel. I consider myself to be a true Alaskan, even though I wasn't actually born here.
I have an amazing family, and without their support I would not be where I am at today. My parents are the best ever, and my sister keeps me grounded. I have 2 beautiful children, a son and a daughter, and they are both married with children of their own. I have a total of 6 grandchildren, and you will always hear me claiming that they are MY babies. :)
I have many passions and hobbies. First and foremost, I love taking care of people. Nursing is something I have always wanted to do, and I have never regretted my career choice. I love to read suspense, and I also enjoy history. I love wolves, minions, the Seattle Seahawks and Mariners, and I love to travel. I collect weird things... I have over 4000 keychains, and I have so many Titanic items that I almost need a room just to put those in.
I have many things planned for my future yet. I probably won't be able to squeeze everything in, but I sure am going to try. I believe it is important to treasure each day, and to always say, "I love you," to those we care about on a daily basis. Life is too short for regrets.
