I am a mom, a nurse, and a best friend. I wear my kids’ happiness and struggles everywhere I go. I love to be active, hiking, playing soccer, traveling, and participating in yoga. I get excited about neuroscience and love to keep learning as the science evolves. I am also an empath and if I am not careful will wear everyone’s happiness and struggles on my sleeve. My biggest struggle and learning in life is how to create boundaries. I am an authentic communicator and in my past “life” was able to work in a job that allowed me to work with people who acquired brain and spinal cord injuries. I educate and support them and their families through their catastrophic event and into the transition through their recovery and new life. I traveled nationally and internationally to meet with them and their families, helping them understand and adapt to life-changing injuries and coordinating their specialty medical care. I worked with them through rehab, recovery, and adaptation, both physically and mentally. I miss this in my life and decided to start this venture to take what I know and am actively learning to impact others, one small piece of science at a time.
