Jodi is a people person who believes nursing is a natural fit for her. "I enjoy working with people during their time of need. I believe that my compassion and expertise help put patients at ease," she said.

She began her career in a nursing home, then spent 15 years working with cardiac intensive care patients and their families. After earning her master's degree, she spent the next decade caring for patients with lung cancer. Now, Jodi is excited to be working in urology.

Jodi and her husband, Frank, have three teenaged children. They keep busy with the kids' extracurricular events and volunteering in the community.

"I also enjoy boating, gardening, spending time with my family and praising my Lord," Jodi said.
