I was born in Jerseyville, Illinois, so accepting the job of IT Director at Jersey Community Hospital (JCH) was a homecoming. I grew up with a lot of the people who work and volunteer here. My friend’s mom works the front desk as a volunteer. She was like a second mother to me growing up, and when she greets me with that big smile, I feel I'm working with family. Even many of my elementary and high school teachers volunteer here, too. Walking down these halls brings back a lot of memories. More importantly, it also reminds me that I've so much to give to this town.
