I am amazed that I have been influenced so much by family and friends while on this journey. I am particularly proud of my husband who said, “If not now, when? This is your time to run and I will be the Wind beneath your Wings.”

I value family, friends, community, education, and most importantly, the children within this community—these are just a few of my values!
