Lo
Binkley,
Director-Thousand Oaks, Ca.
Let me introduce myself to you, by telling you that I was
born in Indiana (that makes me a Hoosier), spent nearly 20 years in Tennessee
(that makes me a Southern gal), and have been in Southern California for almost
15 years where I retired 3 years ago.
My professional background consists of over 30 years as a nephrology
nurse, some of which were spent teaching nursing students (Vanderbilt
University), patients and families with kidney disease (VA Nashville), sales
representatives (Amgen), and answering clinical questions about Amgen’s
products. Other activities gave me
exposure to clinical research, opportunities to travel a bit to give
presentations, and to experience aspects of writing, publishing, and
marketing. These diverse experiences
have taught me much, but my 2 Alaskan Klee Kai (Mac, the man of the house at 3
and Mali, the happy-go-lucky bundle of energy at the ripe old age of 5 months)
have brought me sunshine. Through them,
I have learned patience, and the ability to recognize what is really important
in this world. But more notable,
through them, I have met some really wonderful people, and am delighted that I
am learning new ‘stuff’ every day.
I truly hope that I will
have the opportunity to meet each and every one of the AKK lovers out there,
and that we can all develop the trust and respect for each other that will
enable us to work together in a united force for our dogs and for the breed.
