I started with Palmers Home Care LLC as a Licensed Practical Nurse in February 2024. Columbia, MO is my hometown I attended Parkade Elementary, Lange Middle, Oakland Junior High and Hickman High (Go Kewpies!!) I moved away my 11th grade year to St. Louis and for 10 years it was a place I called home. During those ten years I worked my way up from a Direct Support Professional, to everything in between and graduated with my License of Practical Nursing in March of 2021. I recently moved back to Columbia and the past two years I spent some time working PRN at the Weight Management and Metabolic Center for the University. Outside of working at Palmers Homecare, I am a Full Time Mommy to four beautiful children and one fur baby. In 2022, I had a baby boy with precise medical needs and for the first year of his life I stayed home with him-more than working-learning all “the things” of being a mom to someone similar to our individuals. This has allowed me to relate to our individuals’ parents and guardians and has made me love the DMH community so much more. I am ecstatic to be apart of Palmers Homecare LLC. What a wonderful place to be!

FUN FACT: My whole house is a family of Z’s. Even the dog! We all start with Z.
