What was your inspiration for getting into healthcare?
What inspired me to work in healthcare is the opportunity to help people feel better—inside and out.

No two days are the same in my role. I schedule all incoming new patients and help guide them through the surgical process.

With 30 years at UP Health System across multiple offices, I now work at the UP Bariatric Institute, where I plan to retire.

The biggest change I’ve seen over the years is insurance. It keeps changing, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up.

Some of my interests outside of work include spending time with my grandkids and enjoying our camp. I also love hunting, hiking, and exploring. My favorite local spot has to be Sugar Loaf—the view is absolutely beautiful.
