I have been a nurse practitioner for 18 years and am in a hospital owned family practice in Chesterton, IN.  Prior to practice in Indiana, I have practiced in rural southern Ohio, rural West Virginia and the delta of Mississippi.  I am presently completing my DNP at West Virginia University with an anticipated graduation date in August 2011.  My clinical focus is Osteoporosis.  I have become passionate about bones over the last three years and preventing fractures from low bone mass.  I am married to Michael for 37 years, have three grown children and five grandchildren.  My husband is a pastor and so my other life is being a pastor's wife and women's and children's ministries.  I love to ride horses, dabble in stained glass, play the piano (what pastor's wife doesn't), play with my grandchildren and spending time in sunny warm climates with my husband.  I love being a nurse and the depth and breadth of this discipline and profession.
