I was born in the small town of Ironton in southern Ohio and lived in that area for most of my life. I am the youngest of four children. I have two sisters, Julie and Kaitlin, and one brother, Evan. My parents, Dave and Teresa, are my role models and biggest encouragers. Growing up, my siblings and I were involved in 4-H. We raised and showed dogs and sheep as well as various other projects.Â
My husband, Mr. Heck, is an electrician. We enjoy hiking, playing board games, growing plants, and spending time with our children, Ezra and Emery. Ezra loves animals, Hot Wheels, and singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider! Emery loves to snuggle her bunny, bother her brother, and dance. We also have a standard poodle named Mabel. She loves to chase the kids around and share their snacks!
