3 favorite things: Spend time with Family. I am a mother of 2 girls. Emma 9 & Evy 2. I love Roller Skating & Anything Horses 

Something I Like To Do Outside of Work: Play outside! I love summer and water. Anytime me and my girls can get muddy and be in nature is a win. We do a lot of camping, paddle boarding, bike riding, hiking. I enjoy playing sports with my kiddo and Disc Golf. I’m newly hooked on dancing with my Mother Flexers friday nights!

Something interesting about me: I spent most of my young adult life underwater as a Scuba Diver/Instructor and I've kissed a Dolphin on the lips!

Why I do what I do: I identify as someone who has struggled with mental health and addiction for the better part of my life. My Redemptive Recovery Journey has brought me from broken homes, running away, domestic violence, homelessness, incarceration, time in shelters/treatment facilities & shattered dreams...To a life filled with Hope, Healing and Wholeness! I remember what worked and what didn't. Who saw me and who showed up for me with consistency of love, acceptance, understanding, empathy, support and encouragement. With faith, hope & love I believe we can all access the power and skills to break cycles that no longer serve us. I believe with my whole heart no one needs 'Fixed', we need to be 'Equipped'. My greatest desire is to share my passion for recovery. To come along side each individual in their process and hold space for their personalized journey to love themselves and their life!
