About Me

I'm married to a wonderful man named Matt. I'm a nurse and also a foster mom. I realized that I don't like working in a hospital setting and would rather care for kids in my own home. We are caring for babies who have been prenatally exposed to drugs and/or alcohol, and we welcomed our first foster baby home on December 19, 2005.
