About Us

Welcome to My Story

Every journey has its twists and turns, and mine began in the vibrant world of graphic design, where creativity and color filled my days. I loved crafting visually stunning designs, but life had a different plan for me. When my beloved grandmother fell ill, I found myself as her primary caregiver. This challenging yet deeply rewarding time revealed a new passion in me: helping others.

My passion in caring for others grew even stronger when my first born son was born prematurely at 28 weeks. The compassionate care he received in the NICU inspired me to pursue a career in nursing, blending my empathy and resilience into a profession that touches lives daily in a positive way.

Papaya Pals is way to bring little pieces of my life into my everyday. I'm not just a nurse - I'm a mother of 4, a wife of over 20 years, a foodie, a world traveler, and someone that prioritizes health and fitness. Papaya Pals allows me to share the important parts of my life with my coworkers and patients, but most importantly - it reminds me of all the things in life that continue to drive and inspire me.

The Birth of Papaya Pals

From these experiences, I created Papaya Pals, combining my love for graphic design, my dedication to nursing, and everything in between. This isn't just a business; it's a mission to brighten your day with creative expression and spread happiness.
