Staff of the Week: Nurse Mack!
|
|
Nurse Mack, a fantastic nurse at Hogg Middle, is our Staff of the Week because she exhibits the IB Learner Trait of PRINCIPLED! This is her 2
nd year at Hogg. Nurse Mack (as she is affectionately called) has ensured that ALL our students at Hogg have received all their vaccinations!
Nurse Mack states, “ I am a small town girl who loves cold weather, family and football.” She is married to an amazing man, and they have two beautiful children.
Nurse Mack believes she was chosen as principled because she has a Type A personality, and loves to get things done. She is meticulous about everything she does, and has also been described as “persistent.” Nurse Mack lives by the Golden Rule, and she is always willing to help people.
Nurse Mack is inspired by music, her family and people who have overcome adversity.
Nurse Mack graduated with her first bachelor’s degree from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, and then received her nursing degree from Texas Woman’s University in the Medical Center (Houston, TX).
Nurse Mack states, “I have lots of goals, but my most important goal is to make a difference in at least one person’s life before I die. I also want to be published at some point." 😊 Some of Nurse Mack’s hobbies include traveling, singing/music, she loves to journal, and read trashy magazines!
