I started college a week after graduating from DHS and received a bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Utah in 1986. I worked for about 20 years as a registered nurse. I particularly enjoyed the years I worked at Davis Hospital because I regularly came in contact with people I knew as a result of having lived in the same community all of my life.

I married Bryan Wise in 1986. We purchased a house in Layton which we filled with 4 children. I have 2 daughters, Amber (19) and Breann (17) and 2 sons, Conner (14) and Blake (11). Bryan and I had 24 happy years together before he died of a cerebral aneurysm in 2010.

At Bryan's encouragement, I returned to the University of Utah in 2004 where I earned a master's degree in nursing as a family nurse practitioner. I took a short break from graduate school then returned again to the University of Utah for a doctorate in nursing. I was a graduate of the first Doctor of Nursing Practice Program at the U in 2009.

Since that time, I have worked in the Ob/Gyn department at Ogden Clinic.

I married Les Greenwood in August, 2012. He is an emergency physician at Davis Hospital and Ogden Regional Medical Center. He has 3 children, ages 12, 16, and 20. Les grew up in South America and Miami so he is a relative "newby" to Utah. He has only lived in Davis County since he married me. And, whereas I have 7 sisters, he is an only child. He is still often befuddled that we can't step foot outside our home without running into someone I am either related to or know from childhood.

My oldest daughter is serving a mission in the Toronto Canada area. My second daughter will be a senior at Layton High next year. My sons are in junior high and elementary school.

When I graduated from DHS I was certain I had the world by the horns. Had I been asked to write a summary of what I expected my life to be like, I would not have gotten it right. I could not have envisioned the twists and turns I have experienced. But I am as happy now as I have ever been. Life is good. I wonder what the next 30 years will bring…

Davis High School memory: I remember wearing button fly 501s and a gold blouse to a track meet once when we were juniors. I felt happy and full of confidence. I didn’t want those days to come to an end.
