About Me
I joined the team in May '08 as Health Data Integrity Manager. It's my job to be sure that information entered by patients is accurately captured in our databases. This is important for many reasons, not the least of which is the need to be good stewards of the data entrusted to us by the patients who use our site. I've been a nurse for many years spending much of my career working with people living with the daily challenges of serious & advancing illnesses. My husband Scott and I have two wonderful daughters, a great son-in-law and in April 2010 we'll welcome our first grandchild!
