I've enjoyed practicing nursing for 30 years. My career has taken me from rehabilitation centers to case management and finally wound care. While in wound care clinics, I recognized the importance of routine foot care and became a Certified Foot Care Specialist.

When I'm not working, I love to travel the world with my husband and daughters.
