“My mother was an OR nurse for 40 years. She sustained a slip and fall injury which left her with slipped discs in her c-spine, a condition which, due to the inability to turn her neck adequately, prevented her from being able to do things like drive. Despite this, she never filed a workers’ compensation claim and never missed a day of work related to her injury. I remember watching her sleep in a manual cervical traction device and working through excruciating pain for several years. As my career in the insurance industry progressed, I knew this was an area I wanted to focus on. I truly enjoy collaborating with likeminded individuals who want to ensure a safe workplace by creating an environment in which people can go home the same way they came to work: healthy."
