My son's 17 year old half-sister has moved in with us this June!  She decided to leave the Chicago area where shootings were taking many of her friends, and move to a safer and much better area with her younger brother.  She's enrolled in a good school, she's working at a good job, and she's doing so well! I consider her my other daughter, I've known her since she was 8 years old, she's called me "mom" since then.  We are a family of 4 now, and I'm so happy to have her here!

I had the honor of joining a group of 961 nurse practitioners across the US. I joined the class of 2023 Class of Fellows for the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (FAANP). The new Fellows will join an elite and diverse group of 908 NPs who have made — and who continue to make — a positive and profound impact on national and global health. Thank you to my sponsors, Dr. Colleen Leners and Dr. Kathleen Golden…..true NP leaders! June 22, 2023 - AANP National Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
