I have been a pediatric nurse my whole career and currently teach nursing at Davis and Elkins College in Elkins, WV. I love being outside in nature and am involved in traditional American music and dance. I live in the wooded mountains of West Virginia. I travel to Mexico when I can and enjoy our home there as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lots of travel and the daily richness of family life!I guess growing up on a potato farm in Ohio, I am just continually amazed at how I could NEVER have imagined the life I've lived and the adventures I've had. Perhaps that is the evolving nature of imagining your life into being - and saying yes to anything that enriches life!

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to share stories of life lived adventurously.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A kind heart and a very respectful attitude toward your space.
