Hello from Nurse Ann!

Here is a little information about me and my family and why I became a nurse. At the age of 5, my mom said that I told her that I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. I wanted to help people feel better when they felt sick. I loved trying to take care of my 5 older s when they were sick or hurt.

I am a 1984 graduate of Holtville High School. I attended Health/Science classes at Elmore County Technical Center in the 11th and 12th grade. I wanted to learn all I could about health and make sure that nursing was what I wanted to do. Right after graduating high school, I applied and attended Trenholm State Technical College in Montgomery. In November of 1985, I graduated from the LPN program. After graduating and passing state boards, I started working at Community Hospital in Tallassee. I worked the Medical/Surgical floor for 2 ½ years then transferred to ICU/CCU area where I worked for 11 years.

While going to nursing school, I worked at Winn Dixie in Wetumpka where I met my husband, Ted. We got married in 1990. In 2000, we were blessed with our son, Tony. Tony is a graduate of Stanhope Elmore High and is in his Senior year at AUM. He plans to go into Science/Laboratory work. Tony began attending First Baptist Church in Wetumpka Child Development Center. A wonderful job opportunity to teach and work with small children opened up at CDC so I applied and got the job. The love for children began when I became an Aunt, and only got bigger when teaching and working with children. In 2004 we were blessed with another son, Timothy. He also attended FBCWCDC. Timothy is a 12th grader at Stanhope Elmore High. He wants to be a High School teacher.

In 2011-2012 school year, I was hired as a school nurse for Elmore County Schools and have been at ARIS ever since.

My family and I love to travel and go on adventures in our RV. We love seeing and learning about this wonderful country. We are making memories together!
