Jill, Practice Manager
She has been with Tennessee Family Medicine since it opened in 2007. She has a B.A. in Communication and an M.A. in Corporate Communication from the University of South Alabama.
She's seen every Hallmark channel Christmas movie, even though they are all the same story, with the same soundtracks, but thank goodness they fixed the amnesia, moved back to their hometown, saved the farm and fell in love. She's seen Lord of the Rings 1138 times, is a part time dog whisperer, can ski like nobody you've ever met, and if city driving was an extreme sport, she'd be an X-games champion.
We don't know how she manages to take care of so many things so well here, but thank God for her every day.

Tonya, Nursing
Tonya enjoys composing Dubstep music in her spare time and raising Emus, Llamas and Parrots trained to sing country music. Tonya is a musical prodigy and one of the few in Nashville called on frequently for studio recordings of her hand made didgeridoo.
She won’t brag often, but she is a professional zip-liner but refuses to compete further due to her overall anti-competitive nature.
Tonya has been in nursing for 65 years but you would never know it.
She is the kind of quality person you don't find every day who you can rely on to always do the right thing no matter what. Tonya puts the T in Teamwork.
