I love people and my passion is to help anyone and everyone in whatever form or fashion I can.
I took 10 years off from working to take care of my father before his passing, marry, and raise my boys. I then joined their school PTAs and did fundraising for a few years where I helped them raise over $25,000 in 2 years. I was honored when I was given several awards for my work there. Only after my boys were older and more self-reliant did I return to work.
My “free-time” is given to reading, music, writing short stories, painting, and enjoying football and baseball with my husband and sons.
