I am a special needs advocate and mother of young adult twin daughters with Cerebral Palsy. I love to happily share my experiences as a special need’s mom.  I call my girls my “sheros” and readily admit that I would not be the woman I have evolved into without my girls!

I completed my master’s degree in Industrial & Organizational Psychology in 2019, 27 years after receiving my undergrad degree, it’s never too late!  I am a 25-year employee of county government.  With a handful of years left, I am excitedly awaiting retirement where I can devote more time to advocating and enjoying my favorite past times of reading, traveling (especially cruising), cooking, concert going and listening to music to name a few.

In 2020, I became a certified Life Coach from Grand Canyon University and also completed a Certification & Mentorship program with Jefferson Academy. 

I am very active in my church, and a member of several social/charitable organizations. I am passionate about the disabled community, the community in which I live, and social justice issues.
