Current hometown: Eustis.
Occupation: Registered nurse in the emergency room for AdventHealth Apopka.
My first job: I worked part time at my father’s company, Ford Press, in the bindery department.
Greatest career accomplishment: Graduating from nursing school and immediately landing a job in the emergency department. I like the ER because it’s chaotic.
Business philosophy: Care for people even on their worst days and keep them calm and safe.
Away from the job, I enjoy: Fishing, hunting and sport shooting.
Hidden talent: I’m very good with math and numbers.
Pet peeve: People who rush. When there’s no need to be in a hurry and someone is anyway, it frustrates me.
