About Me
I'm the proud Mom of two plus one (BONUS) exchange daughter. I have so much love for the Holland and West Michigan community and volunteering with West Ottawa Public Schools, Velo Kids, and the West Coast Chamber fills my cup. Outside of the office I'm a PTO Treasurer at my girls' elementary school and a youth softball coach. I love being active outside and spending quality time with friends and family.
