Certified Case Manager

I live with my husband David on our family’s dairy farm. We have 2 adult children and many furbabies.

I have a passion for occupational medicine, health and safety. I enjoy integrating my expertise in occupational health and safety in the management of complex occupational medicine issues. As a career entrepreneur, I am passionate about working directly with clients on the design and implementation of multi faceted business operations dealing with multi-level workforce management.

In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors– being in nature, hiking and camping. I also love traveling and seeing the world.
