What inspired you to pursue a career in your field?
When I first started I was part-time and didn’t know anything about this field. After working at IVF Michigan, I started falling in love with the work that we do. I have learned so many aspects of this specialty and watched it grow and advance over the last 18 years. Helping share that knowledge and experience with patients and my co-workers has been a great privilege.

Can you share a fun fact about yourself that your colleagues might not know?

What is your favorite hobby?
During school, it’s being so involved in my kids’ sports. I help coach their soccer teams, throw footballs with my son, and sit on the sidelines with my noise-makers at all their games. During the summer, it’s being with family and lounging by a pool or lake!
