About Me:

I work in health care at a local hospital, holding two degrees from Boise State University. I am very passionate about the state of health care in this nation, but not because it is my bread and butter. I believe that health care is a right, not a privilege, for everyone. I support numerous causes, including fighting stigma against the mentally ill and animal rights. I consider myself a true liberal only because I seek to understand first, and to judge much, much later. I don't do well with "emotional reasoning"; it makes me sleepy!
