I have three kids. I'm bipolar. I eat hummus and pita bread everyday. The music I like is top 40, pop and swing. I'm a nurse.
I'm planning a vacation. My favorite band is the avett brothers. I'm a counselor. I majored in psychology. I travel a lot.
Where would you like to travel to!? I would love to travel around South and Central America. I've been all over Asia, but I've never explored the latin countries. Have you ever been? I have actually never been! It sounds amazing! Where in Asia have you traveled to?  I have been to Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, China, and Burma. Have you taken any vacations recently? I have not had a vacation recently. I have been so busy with work! This is why I like to hear all about yours. I have been to Thailand! What a fantastic place it was. Did you try the street food?  Yes, the street food was amazing and there was so much variety. I'm sorry to hear work has kept you so busy. Do you work at a hospital or clinic? What kind of nurse are you? There really is so much variety! I am a nurse in the emergency department in a hospital. It can be a lot of hard work as you can imagine but so rewarding! I imagine you must find your work very rewarding too?  Yes, being a counselor is rewarding as well. I get to advise a lot of different people through different walks of life. The Emergency Room must be so hectic! What's your favorite anecdote from working there? It must feel really good to be helping people through the most difficult times in their lives! I once treated a homeless man. I really wanted to help him as he was so nice so I arranged a place for him to stay. He came back to see me a year later and he has a job, a girlfriend and a house! He said it was all down to me. It made me feel so special. Have you got any interesting stories from counselling?  Wow! What a beautiful story! You changed his life! Yes, I had a couple with 8 children struggling economically which was hurting their relationship, I helped them remember all the reasons they got married in the first place and work on their relationship as husband and wife and repair all the cracks in their marriage. It was an amazing feeling to see them regain their strength as a couple and rescue their 28 year marriage, especially for their kids. That is such a nice story! You must have felt so proud to be able to help them. Have you ever helped anyone with your skills on your travels?  I have not been able to because of the language barrier. I only speak english and spanish and a lot of the countries where I have been have other languages as their main language. I hope to be able to do some community service work when I'm in spanish-speaking countries though, so I can use my spanish language knowledge!
