For most of my life, I have lived in Reno, Nevada. I went to college at the University of Utah, where while working a college job part-time, I met Tannen. We became lifelong friends and have plenty of dirt on each other, so we work well together, hehe. When the opportunity arose to work with the clinic, I took it. For several years, I have enjoyed helping the clinic run smoothly and assisting with whatever needs arise that I can help with remotely. I enjoy chatting with patients the most and working with the staff.

A bit about me… I am married and have three adult daughters, one of which currently lives in Utah. Two of my three went to SUU, so they bleed red too, but not as a Utes fan, but as an SUU fan.  My oldest now lives in Nephi, Utah with her husband and two children while one of my twins also went to SUU, then finished receiving her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from RMU (Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions) and now practices as a pediatric Physical Therapist in Henderson, NV. Her twin sister lives in Reno and attended the University of Nevada, Reno, and is now teaching High School Math. I am so proud of all three of them and the lives they have created.

I have worked in some form of medicine for most of my adult life. Chemistry got the better of me for becoming a physician, so instead, I was a certified Child Life Specialist at one of the hospitals in Reno for several years before having children. Although I was a stay-at-home mom, I did venture into my own business in a popular direct sales company, Pampered Chef which 24+ years later I still enjoy being a part of as well (let me know if you need anything). The longing to work in the medical field in some capacity has always tugged at me, so I have worked in different offices and clinics over the years as well. My hobbies include kayaking at Lake Tahoe and surrounding lakes whenever possible, and my latest passion is dog agility with one of my two corgis. I LOVE snorkeling in tropical destinations.

My favorite color is Teal, Aqua-blue, and basically any color that reminds me of beach/ocean colors.

I am happy to help you in any way that I can and look forward to talking with you. (Oh, and if you want some juicy stories about Tannen, let me know!)
