Summary

I am a mom of 3 beautiful boys and a wife. I have many hats that I have on. Before being a wife and a mom, I was an avid 4Her and FFAer. That is something I always thought my kids would eventually do.

My work experience that I have had prepared me for this new opportunity through many different ways.
