Favorite thing about working with the IM residents?
I love meeting all of them and learning about their life, their culture, and their experiences. It is fun to watch them grow while they are here and being able to help them along the way.
Favorite thing about living in Arkansas?
It is beautiful here! I love all of the trees, lakes, and rivers.
What do you do outside of the hospital to relax/have fun?
On the weekends in the summertime, my family can be found at Greer’s Ferry Lake. During the school year, we are usually at softball or volleyball games.
Favorite shows to binge-watch?
Vampire Diaries, Reign, Big Bang Theory, and Grey’s Anatomy
What is your favorite family tradition?
Our Christmas Pickle! We have a tiny ornament that looks like a pickle. Every year we wrap one extra gift that is “the pickle present”. After all the other presents have been opened, we hide the pickle ornament in the tree. Our daughters race to see who can find the pickle. Whoever finds it first, gets the “pickle present”.
What is the best advice you’ve ever heard?
First – “Never have more children than you have parents!” – I still find this to be great advice!
Second – “Don’t let the bad days make you feel like you have a bad life.”
