Background:
I was born and raised in this area. I am married with two children and a lab fur baby. I received my first nursing degree almost 25 years ago from Lansing Community College, and over the years, advanced my education to my current doctorate in nursing (from MSU). I currently practice at MSU Neurology.
In my spare tine you can find me at our seasonal campground and on the neighboring lake any chance we get!
