| Introduction | I was born and raised in a little town in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. The perfect place for a childhood with lots of places to play and for imaginations to grow. I am the oldest of four girls and my family is one of my biggest joys. I have wanted to be a nurse for forever, or so it seemed as a kid. So after getting my Bachelor's in Nursing and working for a year at Seattle Children's Hospital I ended up halfway around the world ministering at Bethesda Hospital in West Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. For three years I ate a lot of rice, learned a whole new language and way of life and discovered that the world was bigger than even the imagination of my childhood could dream up. In 2006, I returned to the US to work a "normal" job and return to school. I recently received my Master's Degree in Nursing from Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing and became a nurse-midwife. I have now returned to serve in Indonesia at Bethesda Hospital as a nurse-midwife and mentor. |
