Believe it or not, this little 4’7”, 90-pound woman was a security guard when I was in my early twenties.
What is your proudest moment or experience treating our patients?
When a patient recognizes me somewhere outside of the facility and stops me to visit.

What is your hidden talent, hobby or greatest interest outside of work?

What are your top 3 life highlights?
• Accepting Christ as my savior

Visiting Ireland. My mother’s family members were some of the original Irish settlers, and I would love to go there to trace my roots.
If you could be anyone from any time period, who would it be and why?
Wonder Woman. I’m always asked if there is anything I don’t do. I’m a daughter, a wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, housekeeper, chef, crafter and caregiver – the list goes on.
Favorite national observance/why?
They all have a significant meaning to me but, if I have to choose just one, I would pick Christmas because it’s the celebration of Jesus’s birth.
Favorite medicine-based movie or show/why?
“ER.” It depicts how hospital staff becomes family, and that’s how I feel about the staff at Rockwall, especially with those who work together consistently.
