**What do you do in your free time? **  
I enjoy hiking/trail running with my husband and traveling with my two college aged kids whenever we get a chance! I particularly like spending time in the mountains and exploring new places.   
   
**How long have you been with ACP?  **  
Just getting ready to celebrate my 9th ACP Anniversary!  
   
**What is your career background?  **  
I have been a PT for 27 years and have worked in multiple settings prior to ACP including Acute Care, Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation, Sub-Acute, Outpatient and Home Health. I spent a little of that time in a managerial position but missed the “hands on” care too much so returned to patient care.

**What inspired you to work with ACP? **  
I think there are three main reasons I was inspired to work for ACP. It provided me an opportunity to expand my “mentoring” of newer clinicians as I think that is an area where our profession has been challenged recently. I also wanted to help clinicians and their patients benefit from the expanding variety of options and technology. Finally, in a unique situation, I have been able to work alongside my sister (Manda Hobbs) even though we are living 5 hours apart!
