Healthcare workers are people who I appreciate given the recent events that have shaken our country. Since the start of COVID-19 I have been amazed at what healthcare workers have been able to do as they put their lives on the line every day in order to care for citizens.

During my downtime, I like to scour the internet in search of vintage movie posters to add to my collection.
