I love any of the "classic" Disney films. My favorite has always been Pocahontas - it has some of my favorite Disney songs.

As a young child I always enjoyed Dr. Suess books. I think the exciting colors, characters and whimsical worlds of Dr. Suess are so much fun. I have enjoyed reading the same books again with my own kids.

I loved playing with Barbies as a child. It was always fun to use my imagination to come up with new stories.

My greatest inspiration is absolutely my mom and dad. They have always been a huge support as I was going to school and because of them, I always knew that I could do anything that I set my mind to.

I love to travel with my family! We especially love going to Disney. As a mom of 2 boys, I enjoy getting to spend time with them and watching them play and do the things they love. We tend to be a sports family - we love to watch football and hockey, both on TV and attending games when we can. I love getting to watch my oldest son try different sports as well.

I have always loved working with kids. I worked as a dance teacher throughout high school and some of college and I knew I would always want to work with children. I started as a NICU nurse and loved getting to meet new families and watch the babies grow. I knew I would love doing the same thing thing as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner - I love getting to know my patients and their families so well and feeling like I can truly make an impact in their health and wellness.
