I was born and spent the first 12 years of my life in Detroit, MI.  When I was 12, my family moved to Texas (Dallas Area).  At the age of 27, I met my wife in Oklahoma and moved here.  I’ve been with PatientLink for more than 7 years now.  I am a support technician as well as one of the people that builds scan and web forms.  I originally went to school for music, but had a talent for computers and decided to go that route instead (It’s surprising how much computers and music overlap).  I have been in IT for more than 30 years and have seen a lot of systems come and go.  I bring experience from the server world, personal computing, and telecom.

In my off time, I can be seen studying music theory, reading (I’m pretty partial to Sci-Fi), spending time with my rescued animals (I have 3 dogs and 3 cats), playing an instrument, or marrying my wife (I try to do that every year).  I love to travel and have a passion for photography as well.  I have my own recording studio that doubles as my home office, replete with instruments hanging all over the place.

Yet another one of my passions is spicy food.  Almost yearly, I go to the Fire Food Festival (in Albuquerque, NM) to try all of the newest and most extreme hot sauces.  I have racks, on the walls, in my home, full of special sauces from around the world.  If you ever need an explanation of the SHU (Scoville Heat Unit) and how hot some hot sauce is, I’m a pretty good resource.

I joined PatientLink in 2018 as the Customer Success Manager. I help bridge the gap between our sales and support teams, and ensure our clients continue to receive excellent care.  I attended Oklahoma State University for Computer Science, and have over a decade’s experience in customer service.  Before PatientLink, I worked as a website technician and Key Account Specialist.  I believe that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.  I have lived in Oklahoma my whole life, and love being a part of the community here.  I have two mini Australian shepherds fur-balls, Nova & Indie, that go with me everywhere.  In my free time I enjoy the great outdoors, traveling, playing sand volleyball and singing. When I have the opportunity I like to camp locally and surf wakes at the lake. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, and I’m blessed to have them in my life.

I started with PatientLink in 2012 and absolutely love my job! It’s incredibly rewarding (and fun) to have a variety of tasks throughout the day. There’s never a dull moment and it keeps me on my toes! I have the best boss in the world – knowing she truly cares about each one of us means the world to me. And, I adore every person on our team and love helping them – it truly feels like a family! I truly love the fact that our entire company believes in offering the best possible service to our wonderful clients.

My husband and I have been together for a few years – 33 years to be exact! We adore our beautiful daughter and her wonderful husband. We spend loads of time spoiling our dog Maggie, a sweet and very funny black lab. We cherish time with family, believe tacos ARE nature’s most perfect food and hockey IS the greatest sport. The only arguments we ever have is over the radio dial or remote control. I love cooking, genealogy, a good book and gardening. I’m pretty shy and quiet until you get to know me, but I really enjoy speaking with our clients. I’m scared of cats and public speaking (I’d rather write the speech than give it!). I do love a good thrill moment (you have to in order to live in tornado alley!): Although it’s incredibly dangerous, so I wouldn’t recommend it, when I was much younger, I might’ve voluntarily slid down the spillway at the Lake Ponca dam once or twice.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and am happily married with two fur babies – an Australian shepherd named Ralphie, and a tuxedo cat named Lorelei. We currently own a successful home cottage bakery business that specializes in cakes, cookies, pies and breads. In my free time, with as rare as that seems to be, we enjoy travelling, especially to the mountains, along with hiking in both National and State Parks. I can also be found reading, playing music, as well as creating art (despite my being color vision deficient). I have 28 nieces and nephews (which includes 5 greats and 2 great-greats) that we spoil when we can. I am also an avid collector of Funko POP! vinyl figures, rare books, as well as signed memorabilia.

I was born in North Carolina, the daughter of a US Marine. We moved around until I was about five when we established permanent roots in Oklahoma. I raised three amazing children that continue to astound me with their accomplishments in life.  And for those of you that don’t know yet, grandchildren are precious gifts, and I am lucky enough to have two!

I have been a software developer writing code for more than twenty years.  I can truly say that I am one of those fortunate people that absolutely loves what they do.  When I was a little girl, my Dad would play games and ask me to solve problems based on real-world situations.  It must have stuck because I love challenges.  Those close to me know that giving up is not in my vocabulary.  Working at PatientLink has allowed me to take that determination and apply it to products that actually DO make a difference in our World.

I love to travel to sunny destinations, especially Mexico.  There is just something about the warm sun and the white sand that captured my heart many years ago.  When I’m not south of the border, I enjoy all-things outdoors.  I love animals both big and small.  My partner in crime these days is my loyal companion Goldie Hawn, a 12-lb goldendoodle and together, skies the limit!

When I’m not at PatientLink, I’m spending time with my Pomeranian Kingsley, video games, or relaxing with my family. My girlfriend and I love to take Kingsley on two walks a day to let him explore. After our walks, Kingsley always wants to play with his favorite toys around the house. When we are not spending time with Kingsley, we are catching up on our favorite cartoons and anime while eating some alfredo pizza and pepperoni and mushroom pizza from Dominos. Our household is big gamers as we both play games such as World of Warcraft, Rainbow Six, Overwatch, League of Legends regularly.

I love to travel around the world. I have been to 20 different countries in two different continents. I’m planning on adding two more countries and continents once the global pandemic calms down. Until then, setting up a hammock on the backyard deck and watching the pond is the next best way to unwind after a long day.

In order to work off the extraordinary amount of Dominos I eat, I love spending my time rock climbing. There are some excellent indoor gyms in Oklahoma to practice on. On good weekends, I meet up my friends at state parks and go climb outdoor for a weekend and catch up.

I grew up in southern Louisiana. My mother’s family were all entrepreneurs and the large family gatherings often included discussions about business. Integrity and honesty were always emphasized. My grandfather often said, “A man is only as good as his word!” My grandparents were my heroes, and I learned a lot from them. My father’s family lived in California and were all scientists and inventors. Their discussions were fascinating, and I grew to love science and admired their energy in their conversations (even though I understood very little about what they were saying).

My mother was a science and math teacher for high school and then later a professor at LSU. When I was in elementary school and did not have classes due to holidays at my school, I went to school with mom and sat in the back of class while she taught. I was very puzzled in her math classes when she placed problems on the board. I could not understand how A plus B could possibly equal C. Since it was clear I could not figure that one out, I made myself busy by designing my own math puzzles and sat quietly in my chair.

During summers, I liked to take things apart and put them back together, build forts, pick blackberries, and walk in the woods a mile behind our house. I was also encouraged to “start my own business” when I was 6. I started with harvesting and selling moonflower seeds in carefully hand designed and decorated envelopes. I made and sold soap, then started a neighborhood newspaper and collected stories from the kids and adults in our small community. Growing up in the country meant you went inside only to sleep and sometimes to eat. I have always loved being outside and enjoy nature above any toy or activity available.

My husband and I currently live on our farm in the Ozark mountains of north central Arkansas. We bought an old trout farm and have been bringing it back to life after 18 years of neglect. My “office” home sits on a hill above 3 ponds and has glass across the entire front of the main room where I work. I get to view God’s amazing nature all day long. Hummingbirds, songbirds, and even bald eagles can be seen from my work chair. We have deer, woodchucks, turkeys, minks, beaver, chipmunks, otters, muskrats, racoons, bear, coyotes, wild ducks, rabbits, squirrels, and even a mountain lion on our property. I cannot imagine a more wonderful workspace for me.

I have four children and six grandchildren. In 2010 I married a man that I adore, and he added three children and five more grandchildren to the family. I really enjoy when the kids and grandkids come for a visit. We catch fish in the ponds and crawfish in the streams, walk through the creeks, ride the ranger across the hills, swim and kayak the Buffalo River, visit caves, and go to antique stores and folk music festivals. The kids love to race around the wraparound porch and play “monster” with each other, all with loud high-pitched squeals and stomping of many feet. Those are some of my most treasured times. Their hugs and giggles keep me smiling and looking forward to their next visit.

I have lived in many places and even in Central America for a while. My happiest time is right where I am, spending time with family, and working with my amazing team.

Larry and me by one of our streams when we were hunting for pretty rocks and arrowheads. The clear cold water flows from one of the springs.

Morning glory is a view from my front window a few weeks ago. No editing or enhancement of colors. It was actually even more intense than the image.

The frost flower is created by moisture slowly seeping from the stem of a weed on a cold morning. When the moisture hits the cold air, it freezes and is continually pushed outward as more moisture seeps from the stem. They are too delicate to touch and melt when the sun hits them. Each one is different. They are an amazing miracle and reminder of our creator’s love and artwork.

I’m a mini Goldendoodle (F1b) and Angela is my best friend.  I may have more followers on IG than you do.

Nova
My name is Nova Scotia, but I go by Nova. I am five years old, but my mom would say I still act like I am two. My favorite activities include chasing squirrels, going on walks, and barking at the neighbor dogs. I love and need constant attention, and if I am not the center of attention I will pout. I had 6 puppies in July of 2020, and I can honestly say I was made for motherhood! I love sitting next to my mom when she works, cooks, sleep – I pretty much follow her like a duckling. There’s nothing I love more than my family (and maybe a cookie every now and then)!

Indie
Hi! I’m Indie! I am the youngest of my mom’s, Nova, 6 puppies. I was born on July 14, 2021, so I’m what they call a “Quarantine Pup” (whatever that means)! I’m super affectionate when I am not busy playing outside or with my friends. I love to lay my head on laps, smoosh my face into cute human faces, and snuggle next to my humans on the couch when allowed. I love digging holes in the backyard and getting super dirty, but I absolutely hate baths I have to take afterwards. I’m still pretty young, but thankfully my Mom is with me to help show me the ropes!

 

Hi – My name is  Beebe, and I am the newest member of the PatientLink team and I am here to help make everyone smile.  More to come.

Hi – We’re the ducks on Debi’s farm.  She helped grow us from little babies to full grown.  We even have our own floating condo on the pond. Check it out.
