I am a mother of two adult children and the oldest of 10 siblings and happy to be a part of a huge extended family. My profession? I am a physician. My main interests have been doing short term medical missions and traveling to remote places in the world where they need medical care. This past year I've had the privilege and honor to serve as part of the tsunami relief in Thailand. And after that, I ended up in Houston, Texas for the Katrina hurricane disaster relief. Although I did mostly medical missions, it was heartwarming to see and meet some Hams out there. This hobby certainly dovetails and complements well with my volunteer missions. I am hoping to be a part of DX-peditions and am continuing to learn more about our service-oriented hobby, especially the emergency aspect.

73 to all.
