I grew up in a small farm town after being adopted at the age of five. My life experiences have had a significant impact on the woman I have become. I am passionate about everything I do, and I love new adventures and making new friends everywhere I go.

My husband and I enjoy life together traveling and spending time on the water. I have two daughters who are kind and beautiful inside and out. We have the best dog ever, Duke, a loud sun conure, Vaida, and two beautiful Friesian mares, Willow and Daenerys.

I stay active horse back riding, skiing, wake surfing, paddle boarding, biking, kayaking, and an occasional golf scramble.

Below is my curriculum vitae that describes the journey I have taken in my professional life, my education, training, and volunteer work over the years.
