Thankful and happy, sometimes in spite of life! I am grateful to have a circle of loving family, friends, and neighbors. I have worked in various roles in healthcare in the past, including setting up and managing a specialty private practice, overseeing an in-house wellness program, volunteering for a wellness department in a multispecialty clinic, and providing stress relief in hospitals to staff, family members, and patients as a trained volunteer chaplain. Somewhere along the way, I also gained experience in education, agriculture, and medical product development. I have been passionate about Biblical archeology as well as research, and am interested in learning something new each day.
