Brief Profile:
I am a non-traditional pre-med that has spent the last eighteen years as a high school science teacher. My life took a detour in college when I got married and had my first child. I took the route that would quickly enable me to earn an income to support my new family.
Now that my youngest child is getting ready to graduate from high school, I can act on my dream about returning to the pre-medicine path.
