Education:  I graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Information Administration. I then obtained credentials as a Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA). Later in life, I returned to college and received a Master of Arts in Communication from Liberty University.

Professional:  I have worked in healthcare for the past twenty-eight years. I have held varying titles, such as Practice Manager, Privacy Officer, Quality Improvement Specialist, Adjunct Faculty, Medical Record Consultant, Health Information Administrator, and Program Chair. I have worked in several different Healthcare Delivery Systems, such as Behavioral Health, Community Health Centers, Hospitals, Surgery Centers, Long-Term Care Facilities, and Community College.

I have a son who is in the Army, and he and his wife are currently stationed in Oahu, Hawaii. In my spare time, you will find me outdoors. I love gardening, biking, walking, going to the beach, and traveling.
