About me
Nurturing strength and spirit
As a mother of three vibrant boys, each with their own distinct passions, my days are filled with the joy of exploration and connection. Whether we're shooting hoops in the driveway, gathered around the table for game nights, or adventuring in the great outdoors, our bond grows stronger with every shared moment. Witnessing the unique personalities of my sons blossom fills me with immense pride, seeing them evolve into compassionate and driven young men.
Embracing curiosity
My own curiosity about the world fuels my love for outdoor exploration and continual learning. Embracing the dynamic nature of my job, I find fulfillment in encountering new challenges that demand creative solutions and fresh perspectives. Though my journey post-high school led me through various academic pursuits—from Psychology to Neuroscience to Exercise Science—my most cherished role has been as a devoted caregiver to my boys during their formative years. Volunteering in my community has always been a cornerstone of my life, a testament to my belief in the profound impact of serving others.
Be the change you want to see in the world
My passion for advocacy, particularly for the rights and well-being of women and children, was deeply inspired by my grandmother's tireless dedication to supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Her legacy became my guiding light, especially poignant in her final encouragement to continue her noble work. Shortly before her passing, she expressed such pride in me for "picking up the torch" and following in her footsteps. I've remained steadfast in my commitment to honor her memory by amplifying the voices of the marginalized and fighting against injustice.
Home is where the heart is
My family holds a cherished place in my heart, anchoring me through life's highs and lows. Despite the geographical distance that separates us, the influence of my siblings remains a profound force, shaping my journey in countless ways. At the center of it all stands my unwavering pillar of support—my mother. Her boundless love and unwavering encouragement have been constants in my life and have deeply enriched the lives of my boys. I am endlessly grateful for her steadfast presence, knowing that her unwavering support is a beacon of strength in our lives.
