Best part of my job: The amazing nurses, physicians and staff whom I get to work with.

Unusual memory: One time a rack collapsed after a doctor put a heavy chart on it. Papers and charts went everywhere! It was a mess, but he helped pick up everything. We laugh about it to this day.

What energizes me at work: The relationships I have formed with my co-workers.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Interior decorating. It is something I really enjoy.

I’m really good at: Cooking. I enjoy sharing what I make.

Surprising fact: I enjoy finding old household items and updating them to display in my home and to give as gifts
