What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I am a pediatric nurse practitioner who practiced for 12 years prior to transferring to public health leadership. Currently I am the Clinical Program Specialist with Reach Out and Read Michigan - the local affiliate of National Reach Out and Read (ROR). I am also pursuing my Master of Public Health with a focus on advocacy for the health of children and families. My most important job is of course, being a wife and mothering our 4 children who are 14, 12, 12, and 3.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
Ottawa County CASA
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
The impact that ACEs and PCEs have on health and well-being across a lifespan and generational health. Family health and support is also a focus of mine. We will never have healthy kids if we do not have healthy families.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I am not.
