I worked in different areas of nursing while raising our children until I settled in Dialysis. I worked in different parts of Florida from Miami to Gainesville as Director of Nursing for an international corporation until I retired a few years ago.

I still preach and teach the word of God when He makes the opportunity and life is good!
