I have 6 kids spread between 16 years, one being special needs. I have dedicated the last 22 years to raising them. I have learned a lot about communicating with and mentoring a wide range of ages and developmental stages. Additionally, my church community has given me leadership opportunities that have strengthened my traits of kindness and compassion. I see many sides to an argument. I speak up for my perspective when needed, and I am willing to modify my opinions and decisions with new information.
