What gets me excited about my work?
Still feeling connected to patients when I read medical and legal files as I code, knowing their stories will eventually help to improve safety outcomes and quality of care.

On the weekends, you’ll find me...
Depending on the season, on a court/in a rink/or on a field cheering on one of my 4 sons as they participate in one of many athletic activities!
