Community Health Educator – Safe Kids NE Florida, The PLAYERS Center for Child Health at Wolfson Children’s Hospital

My job responsibilities:Educating parents, caregivers, and children on how to keep themselves or their children safe from preventable injuries.

Why I joined the Coalition: I am very passionate about teen driving as I have had friends and acquaintances personally impacted.

Professional Accomplishments: CPR and CPST certified.

Hobbies or areas of interest outside of work: I love to read, go to the beach, try new restaurants and go to sporting events with my friends and family.

What was your favorite song when you were a teenager? My favorite song as a teenager was Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

What make and model was your first car? My first car was a 2004 Acura TL named Meredith!

What has changed most about driving from the time you were a teenager to now? I am much more cautious now. I am hyper aware of the other drivers on the road and can make more mature and intelligent decisions.

The one tip I would give any new teen driver would be: To really care about yourself, your passengers, and other drivers on the road. Accidents can happen quickly but most can be preventable.
