A little more about me
I had the honor of being a stay-at-home mom, raising and homeschooling my four amazing children. Once they were all in Highschool I decided I wanted to go back to work as a Preschool Teacher. I then chose to further my education and pursue Phlebotomy. I thoroughly enjoyed Phlebotomy school and excelled in it. I completed the course with an A+ and earned a 99% on my certification exam. I am eager to used my newfound training to give people the best possible blood draw experience.
