I love to connect with people through their stories. I have studied my family's genealogy in order to know the stories of my grandparents and their parents. I have heard many stories from those I have visited in homes and hospital. Our stories enable us to make meaning out of life's circumstances and bring us closer together.
Fun Fact: I love being with family, snuggling with my three cats, gardening and taking long walks in nature.
