How long have you been at TARCOG and what do you do? I am a Registered Nurse Case Manager, and I have been with TARCOG for 2 months.
What did you want to be when you grew up? I have always wanted to be in the field of service. I later learned that being a nurse was my calling.
What do you hope to accomplish within the next year? In a little over a year, I hope to become a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

What’s the most daring thing you’ve ever done? I’m not really the daring type but going back to school after saying I was done—especially with how busy I already am—was definitely a bold move for me.
Who knows you the best? My husband, Cordalero.
What would you do if you won the lottery? I wouldn’t tell anyone, but there would be signs!
