About Deborah

I have wanted to work in the healthcare field since I was a little girl. My Grandfather was a P.A. in the army and worked at the VA. I would love to hear about his day and how he made a difference in peoples lives. I went to Tucson College and graduated with honors as a Medical Assistant in 1994. My love and desire to help only got stronger after my mother was diagnosed with cancer and my father went into heart failure. I was blessed to have had the knowledge to be able to care for them when they needed me the most. Through caring for them as well as three of my children I have also gained additional experience such as how to run feeding tubes, oxygen concentrates and so much more. One of the things that I love the most about working in the healthcare field is that whether I am with a client for one day or a year is that I am making a difference in their lives and they make a difference in mine.
