“I’ve been the school nurse at Centennial for 13 years, in Atlanta in general for 30.”
“What’s your favorite part of your job?”
“My passion is working with the kids with various disabilities, learning disabilities, ADD, autism. I became a nurse at Mays years ago because my oldest son has learning disabilities and ADD and I wanted to be an advocate for him. He has since got his undergrad at Fam, grad school Morehouse School of Medicine, and PHD at UGA. He teaches at Mercer now.”

“Congratulations.”
“He still has dyslexia and all those things. I like to be able to talk to the parents to help them come out of denial. Let’s deal with this and look at the resources we have to help your child. Learn how to be supportive instead of thinking your child can’t be successful. I also have a little grandson who’s in the autism spectrum.”
“It’s beautiful how you’re shepherding these people.”
“I’m certainly well past retirement ago but I enjoy what I do.”
