We asked our employees 3 questions for their birthday this year to get to know them better:

1. What’s one goal you hope to achieve in 2025?  Take Emily on a trip, even if it’s a short one, just the two of us. The picture is the view over the Phoenix area after hiking and climbing up the rocks south of the city.

1. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?  Switzerland.  I appreciate mountaintop views, relaxed pace of life, and good food!

1. What’s your favorite part of working at Z&Z Medical?  I like re-connecting with former students and co-workers that I’ve met while previously working in Imaging.  It’s fun seeing how people have grown and branched out!
