Hobbies and Interests
My interests include a variety of things both in and out of uniform. Living here in Wyoming I enjoy the outdoors, going up into the mountains to go hunting and camping. I also enjoy playing recreational sports such as volleyball and softball. I truly enjoy being a mom to my six-year-old son and three-year-old daughter. They are my greatest loves and it's always a blessing when we get to spend quality time together as well as with the rest of my family and close friends.

Motivated Training NCO with current work experience operating in many of the day-to-day systems that both Training and Readiness NCOs use already.
