First UTSW job: Working as an Ambulatory Clinic Registered Nurse in the Department of Neurological Surgery.

Best part of my job: My colleagues – they are my family away from home. They are caring, funny and hard workers.

How co-workers describe me: Generous. I’ve been told that I am giving of my time and experience.

Recipe for success: Tenacity. If there is something my team needs, I won’t give up until I have a solution.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Cooking and baking.

I’m really good at: Planning parties and vacations. I like to research where we are going and make dinner reservations ahead of time. I also like to find great hotels with the best locations.

Hobby or passion: Running and travel. My goal is to run eight half marathons in eight days on eight continents.

Surprising fact: I have completed a half marathon in every state. I am working toward completing 100 half marathons.
