I graduated from Commerce High School in 1976 and have lived in the area ever since.  I attended Georgia Massage Institute in Winder and graduated in 2007.  I truly enjoy being a massage therapist; it gives me a great feeling to know that I have helped someone feel better.  I have five grandchildren with twins on the way!  I really enjoy going to the beach and lying in the sun.

I began working for Spine Care & Pain Management in September 2010. I was working as a pharmacy tech at Publix prior to joining this awesome team of great individuals. I am originally from Miami, Florida and moved to Georgia in 1998.  When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I don’t have any kids yet, but my gorgeous blue nosed pitbull, Coda, is enough to keep me busy on a regular basis. I love going to the beach, being in sun, hunting, fishing, cooking out, and swimming. I also love to sit by a nice bon fire on Saturday nights watching college football with my other half Austin. He and I are definitely House Divided! (Bama/UF) GO GATORS!

During my senior year of high school, I began interning in the Athens pharmacy for a work-based learning class. After my internship was completed, I began working in the pharmacy of Spine Care & Pain Management part-time in June of 2010. I am currently enrolled at the University of Georgia majoring in Pre-Pharmacy. When I am not working or focusing on my schoolwork, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, watching sports, and playing tennis. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have been given to work for this magnificent and hard working company. It has given me insight into the world of healthcare, and it has made me realized that I want to have a career in the medical field.

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and have now been in Georgia for the last 5 years.  I served a two year church mission in South Africa from 1997-99. It was a life changing experience and was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. A few years after I returned from South Africa I married the love of my life and we have been blessed with two wonderful children, we just celebrated our 10 year anniversary. For the last 10 years I have worked in the Finance/Banking industry and most recently served as a Bank Manager. I’m really looking forward to the new challenges working for Spine Care will bring. I am an avid sports fan! I love to watch and play sports. I love to play golf, and I currently manage and play for a recreational Men’s softball team in Barrow County.
