Office and Billing Manager
I started working at Valley Family Medicine in July 2001. I graduated from New London Senior High School in 1998 and received my CNA from Crystal River Nursing Home and Rehab in 2006. I am also BLS (Basic Life Support) and ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) Certified. In 2018, I received my certification through AAPC and am now a Certified Professional Coder.
I have lived in New London my whole life. I am married with three wonderful children. When I'm not working I am spending time with my family, kayaking, camping, or doing anything outdoors. I have made many wonderful friends working at Valley Family Medicine, and I am looking forward to making many more in the years to come!
