What brought you to Medrec?
A friend called and asked if he could pass my name along to Medrec. He told me they were looking to open a branch in the DFW area and needed a branch manager. I spoke with Peter, and I knew that I had found my home. Peter was great, and the staff were all very welcoming. I went home from the interview and knew that this was the job I was looking for.

Tell us about your family.
I am married to a wonderful guy named Billy, and we have 4 children (2 boys and 2 girls). Three of the kids are married, and the youngest boy starts college this year. We have also been blessed with 5 granddaughters from the age of 4 years down to seven weeks. We are all very close.

What is something that most people do not know about you?
I have been in the therapy staffing business for over 15 years. I started as a receptionist, advanced up to an Area Manager, and even held a position in corporate. The therapy staffing business is truly my life.

Where did you grow up?
I live in Irving Texas, right outside of Dallas.

How would your family and friends describe you?
I called someone to ask this question, and the answer: “family oriented, dedicated friend, mother, grandmother and deathly afraid of dogs.” Sounded like me, especially the dog part.

What do you like best about your job, and/or current assignment?
I enjoy working with people. I like meeting new people and getting to know our therapists and clients.

What do you do when you are not at work?
My husband and I enjoy spending time together and visiting with family. Our family is our life. We would like to travel some in the next few years.

What is a job experience you will never forget?
I will never forget relocating therapists to Texas when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. We moved families here and gave the therapists a job, set the family up in housing and made sure they had the resources that they needed. The best thing was that my staff and I shopped for toys and made sure the kids knew us and our families so that they would feel comfortable if we needed to help. The families were so appreciative, and a lot of them are in Ft Worth, Texas still today.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Montana ... I have seen such beautiful pictures from that area and I would love to see the beautiful mountains and landscape.

Anything else you would like us to know about you?
I am thrilled to be back in the therapy staffing business and now working for Medrec!
