I have been fascinated by all things health and wellness from a young age. As a child, I looked up to my elementary school nurse, who was affectionately known to us as “Nurse Sarah.” While I was in middle school, I was approached by my 7th grade English teacher, who asked if I would be interested in joining our school’s morning TV announcements program as her assistant. My fellow students and I would be creating short videos to be shared during the broadcast. That sparked in me an enthusiasm for journalism. In high school, I joined the staff of our school newspaper, where I spent two years as a staff writer and one year as a copy editor. Though I loved journalism, I once again felt a strong pull toward nursing as a career. I took a vocational nursing assistant class during my senior year and determined that I would pursue a nursing degree in college. After I had spent 10 years in nursing, my son was born, and I wanted to spend as much time with him as I possibly could. I left bedside nursing to be a stay-at-home parent. Once he started school, I wanted to use the expertise I had gained from my time as a nurse, but still remain at home for the benefit of my family. I never lost my love for creating content, so combining my interests in nursing and writing was a natural next step for me. I live outside of Louisville, Kentucky, with my husband, son, dog, and cat. When I am not at my laptop writing or spending time with my family, I enjoy hiking, reading, experimenting with new recipes, and binge-watching my favorite shows on Netflix.
