Being a mom is the most challenging, yet most rewarding thing Ive ever done. Its fun to relive my childhood with them again, and see the world through their eyes everything is an exciting adventure, and their enthusiasm is so refreshing. They have plenty of energy so I definitely need a cup of coffee (or more) to keep up!
My Dad. Hes a true self-made man, and has always taught me three important things: work hard, never give up, and most importantly have compassion for those around you. These lessons have shaped who I am today in a number of ways, even with opening Statesboro Pediatric Dentistry.
