As a military brat, I lived all over the world but claim the Florida Panhandle and Nashville as home. I received my Bachelor's of Nursing degree from the University of Alabama-Birmingham. I was able to complete college with the help of a scholarship from the US Navy. After college, my 5-year committment to the armed forces was spent in Italy as a Navy Nurse. After completing my tour I then moved to Nashville where I earned my master's degree as a Nurse Practitioner from Vanderbilt University. I loved what Nashville had to offer and stayed in Music City! For the past 17 years, I have been a Nurse Practitioner in very stressful roles to include Trauma and now Thoracic Surgery. Currently, I am helping to take care of our Veterans with Lung Cancer. I started my pet product business 4 1/2 years ago when I was contemplating whether I wanted to pursue my PhD or embark on my entrepreneurial dream of owning my own business. I chose the latter.
I am newly married and have four wonderful dogs (my kids!). When time permits I love doing Crossfit, gardening, snow skiing, and running with my dogs (all four at once using the handsfree leash!). In the future, I hope to own a farm where I can have many animals.
Thank you for your support.
