Personally
- Jesus is at the center of everything I do and pursue in life
- I am married to the most wonderful husband and we love our small tribe
- My favorite colors are purple, silver, teal, sapphire blue and coral
- I love exploring new local restaurants when traveling to different cities
- You can find me either with a good (physical) book to read or lettering in my downtime
- Simple self-care for me is a painting my nails, getting a massage, and enjoying a cup of hot tea
- Big Goals: I want to become a midwife and have my own birth center. I also want to travel the country in a tiny house when I retire.
