What you may not know or guess about Tina: She loves the outdoors, having climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and rafted on the Nile River. She also has a glamorous side, having starred in several plays and appeared in several television shows and movies. She loves her Mac and her iPhone. She has been published 17 times (well you probably would have guessed that). She once got kicked out of a country club for wearing jeans. And, above all else, she loves helping patients, trying new foods, and visiting her boyfriend in NY when she has a chance.
