12/29/2023 0 Comments Family tree near me nowIn my free time, I enjoy playing board games with my husband, and going to Orlando’s wonderful theme parks with my family. I earned my medical degree from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Bradenton and further honed my skills at the Family Medicine Residency at AdventHealth East Orlando. I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Florida and a Master of Science in Medical Science from the University of South Florida. I attended Faith Chrisian Academy for both Middle and High School, where I graduated as Valedictorian and a three sport varsity athlete. I’ve resided in both the Orlando and Oviedo areas. It's been a long and difficult road, but I'm here now. Life’s a little more complicated now, and I have less free time…but I welcome the trade, and am sure I’ll revisit all of my former free-time passions soon.Īs a kid, when asked ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’, rather than a “movie star”, or “ police k-9 officer” I opted for a “doctor.” After a childhood of math games, home chemistry sets, and lots of schooling, I can thankfully say I saw that goal through. Sometime between our 5th and 6th kid coming into this world, if not at the clinic, you’d find me on a sand volleyball court, lifting in our home gym, in my backyard building a patio or gardening, fiddling around with my ukulele, or trying to improve my amateur photography skills. Between the two of us, we now have seven kids, and the only way for us to be together all the time, was for me to separate from the Air Force, and move here! While stationed in San Antonio, I met the love of my life while he was in town for some training. I’ve ended up here for a very important reason, my family. I have more subtle indicators, like how I immediately judge a Mexican Restaurant based off its salsa, or my obsession with H-E-B (if you know, you know). I was born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, though you’d never guess from talking to me. Unlike my esteemed colleagues, I’m not from around here. I could go on and on about what I have gained from my military experience, but there’s not enough space on this page, so you’ll just have to ask me. I graduated with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice, and headed for San Antonio to work in the Family Health Clinic at Randolph Air Force Base. I chose family care, because I love caring for patients of all ages, and couldn’t possibly limit myself to one specialty. While in the Air Force, I applied for the Air Force Institute of Technology scholarship for the Family Nurse Practitioner program at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. The experience at UT Southwestern was invaluable, however I felt I was meant for more, so I joined the Air Force. Lucky for me, it turned out I loved Nursing.Īfter graduating, I worked at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, on a busy inpatient Medical-Surgical floor. I figured I’d always have a job in health care. I let my pragmatism choose for me and headed off to Texas Woman’s University to major in Nursing. I knew I liked science, and I loved music and theater…but I wasn’t confident in the career I’d have as a musician or an actor. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to be when I grew up.
