About living in Michigan:
I'm originally from Michigan, and I stayed here because all of my family is here.
What do you like most about working with learners?
Learning about how things are different from every hospital and the way things are run.
When you're not working, what do you do for fun?
We have chickens who provide a countless amount of eggs, and we are hoping to get some cows soon. I love being outside and enjoying the sunshine but also enjoy all of the seasons. I love going to sporting events or concerts.
Favorite aspect of Hurley?
I love that Hurley is a diverse place and they offer a wide variety of jobs, treatments, and specialties. There is something here for everyone. Also, you can expect to see more interesting things due to the Level I Trauma Center. I also love that Hurley goes out of their way to help the pediatric patients while they are here around the holidays.
