I grew up in Rio Rancho, attending Rio Rancho Elementary, Lincoln Middle School, and Rio Rancho High School, where I was a cheerleader. As a child I rode horses competitively in Hunter Jumper.  My husband and I have a son, and a daughter who keep us plenty busy.  We also have our pets on our teeny farm in the North Valley; dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, a horse, and a donkey. I love Disney, Rae Dunn, Bath & Body Works, animals, thunderstorms, and chocolate!  I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of New Mexico in 2007, and a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education in 2013.
