I am a mother of three children with a supportive husband by my side. Life experience has taken me to places I never expected and provided experiences I never would have imagined. I began my college journey with the goal of medical school, but many years later and a few states away from where I began, I came to realize that my love is in working with youth and teaching, guiding, and mentoring them. I also love to make things with my hands and find much satisfaction in giving old things new life.
