Short Bio

Hi!  I was diagnosed with IPF about six months ago.  One day I was running around teaching first graders, the next day I was at home on oxygen. My life changed very quickly! Staying at home to avoid omicron has limited my life further. I am looking forward to taking my portable oxygen and seeing the town again when things are safe.
