What is one unique thing people don’t know about you – like a hobby, a former profession, a place you’ve visited? 

I can rip a gas nozzle and hose out of the pump and not blow anyone up.

If you had a superpower, what would it be?

A forest ranger.

What is your favorite kind of music and/or band? 

Country/bluegrass/folk

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would you choose?  

Jessica Fletcher (played by Angela Lansbury) from Murder She Wrote. I’m pretty sure we are meant to be best friends.

Is there anything else you’d like to share with the Ryan House community?

I came to Ryan House Peds for the first time eight years ago through the Resource Team. I fell in love with the kids. I admired the parents and staff. I’m very happy to be calling this home.
