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!
