Despite many challenges, personally and professionally, with the support and encouragement of my colleagues and teammates, I was able to self-study and obtain my COA, an achievement of which I feel very proud. The certification helps me to work alongside the physicians at TEI to provide the best assessments and care for our patients. I love what I do and truly enjoy every patient I interact with and help care for at TEI.<\/p>\n<p><b>Working together is one of UNMC&#8217;s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed group work together at UNMC.<\/b><br \/> <br \/>\nOn a daily basis, I see our clinic staff at TEI bring forth their best effort and amazing values to help our patients. <\/p>\n<p><b>What is your favorite spring activity?<\/b><br \/>\nMy favorite spring activity is going for long runs early in the morning as the sun is rising. It is so relaxing, peaceful and beautiful. I recently started running and am hoping to run my first marathon sometime this year. I also love planting a vegetable  garden and picking all the wonderful vegetables and fresh herbs out of my garden. <\/p>\n<p><b>List three things people may not know about you.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Having completed my COA degree, I am currently attending college studying to become a R.N.\n<li>In addition to my beautiful daughter, I also have a <i>huge<\/i> heart for animals of all different types and sizes, and if I could, I would have an animal refugee farm and rescue animals. I always have that part of me that would love to be a veterinarian.\n<li>Last but not least, I was actually born in Bellevue at Offutt Air Force Base as my father was in the military.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ophthalmic assistant loves animals, running and being part of the Truhlsen Eye Institute team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":52044,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","department-unmc-today-todays-headlines"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lookin&#039;
