I am passionate about providing excellence to our travel hospital clients and making the travel experience rewarding for all PRCS travelers. I love interacting with all of our hospital contacts and travelers! It is important to me that all of our travelers know that they are appreciated at PRCS, and have a company that they are important to, and trust.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my 2 sons, age 11 and 8.  Watching my sons compete in baseball and basketball is how I spend a lot of my time, which is so great!  Some of my interests are running, working out, reading, and sports in general.

Shortly thereafter I decided to pack my bags and move to Scottsdale, Arizona. Cleveland’s six-month winters inspired that move. I love being active: working out, golfing, hiking, boating, anything outdoors. Working at PRCS has been a blessing-being surrounded by such a wonderful, tight-knit FAMILY is all you can ask for at the workplace. I love getting to know my travelers as much as possible-every traveler has their own unique story which means catering to each individual in a different way
