Why did you choose the field of diabetes and what keeps you involved?     Working in the field of diabetes sort of chose me. About ten years ago, I was at a point in my career to do something different. After much prayer, this diabetes position "fell in my lap." I now really enjoy being able to help people with diabetes. I find the field very interesting, ever changing, growing and challenging. 
 
Are you working on any interesting projects or committees related to diabetes?  
I am currently working as a collaborative clinical investigator in seeing how Humulin Regular U-500 insulin impacts the lives of some of my patients who are very insulin resistant.
 
What do you see as trends in diabetes care or education? Sound research findings in diabetes care will continue to be the basis that we as diabetes educators build our practice on.
    
What are your future career goals? Continue my role as a nurse practitioner at the UK Medical Center and become more involved in diabetes research for the purpose of bettering the lives all persons with diabetes.
.
Discuss any personal hobbies or interests:  My hobbies include sewing, exercising, and spending time with my 2 wonderful grandchildren.
