I find meaning in being part of a team that is dedicated to making a positive impact on patient’s lives. It’s always a good day when patients offer hugs to express their gratitude. It’s a great reminder of why we do what we do. I love to see the relief people have after surgery when they have been in pain for so long, especially people who have cancer. It is a joy to see them finally pain free and to know that I have done something to help them. Working in Sidney allowed my husband and I to be close to family and gives us the ability to raise a family in a small town. Additionally, having the opportunity to work as a PA in a rural setting allows for a diverse skill set to be practiced. My favorite movie is probably “Home Alone.” It is a family tradition to watch it during the holidays, which comes with fond childhood memories. I like to read, bake, spend time with family, and I recently started an Etsy shop.
