About me… I’m an easy going soul that has orbited the Earth 127 times, researched vaccines for Hepatitis B, and has a public school named after me. I also love knitting and can crush any opponent on the dance floor.

I love helping others and was honored to be the Area Peace Corps Medical Officer for Sierra Leone and Liberia in West Africa from January 1983 to June 1985!
