Connie Cauthen; Program Coordinator I'm a life-long resident of Gainesville, FL. If my name sounds familiar, I probably handled your admission or insurance questions in my former position. I am so excited to be a part of the GSD team. I am eager to work with you, talk with you, and meet or see you again.
Laurie Fiske; Research Coordinator At 18 months of age, my daughter was diagnosed with Glycogen Storage Disease Type VI. It is then that I came to know Dr. Weinstein and the GSD Team. I am very honored to to be a part of this team and assist with the research regarding glycogen storage disease. I am glad to contribute to a program that is close to my heart, as well as yours.
Kathy Ross, RD, LDN; Registered Dietician Graduated from FIU (Florida International University) in Miami, Florida where I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Dietics and Nutrition. I worked for UF/State of Florida for WIC (Women, Infant, and Children) which is a Supplemental Nutrition Program before joining the GSD team. We are a Gator family since my daughter graduated from UF. It is of great pleasure to be meeting and working with such dedicated and successful families dealing with GSD.
Glenna Paguio BSN, RN; Nurse Specialist Glenna Paguio, BSN, RN, completed her bachelor's degree in Nursing in the Philippines, migrated to Gainesville, FL, in 2003, and has remained a loyal Gator since then. Her background in nursing varies from clinical to educational and currently research. While working as a research nurse at Shands at the University of Florida Clinical Research Center, Glenna had the chance to care for GSD patients. Over the past four years her interest in GSD has grown, and she says, "I did not have any second thoughts when I had the opportunity to join this team. I have witnessed the team's commitment to the program, and I am very excited to be a part of it now."
