July Employee of the Month

I have been with Jefferson Healthcare for nearly 28 years, with 18 of those years as an STNA, after starting in the housekeeping and laundry department. I am married to my husband Jeff for 26 years, and we have two sons, Mike and Tyler. We also remember our son Logan, who would have been 24 this year. I have a wonderful daughter-in-law, Kalli, and six grandchildren: Heaven, Navion, Tyler, Braden, Craden, and Landen.

Originally from Chardon, I moved to the Jefferson area in 1977 and have lived here ever since, graduating from Jefferson High School in 1987. I chose to become an STNA because I believe I can make a difference in my residents' daily lives, even if it is just one step at a time.

My favorite pastime is spending quality time with my family and doing word search books. One of my dreams is to visit Montana and spend a few days on one of their beautiful ranches. I have always dreamed of experiencing the beauty of Montana.
