1. I turned my passion into a paycheck! I always get asked the career change question, "Aren't you a scientist why change?" Well, I rolled out of bed and thought to myself…LOL!…that's another story! I have always had a strong affinity for design! When my kids had a party, I'd start planning a year in advance, if my colleagues needed help picking out paint colors or designing their homes I was so there for it! You could literally see the wheels turning in my head! It was so rewarding to tap into my creativity, it truly kept me up all night and it still does! I am still a “nerdy” person but I absolutely love transformations!
2. I live by scripture and mantras! Try me, I will go Brene Brown on you so hard...LOL!
3. In case you didn't get the memo...I'm witty as H-E-double “L” hockey stick! I enjoy a good laugh and I always try to look on the bright side of every situation. I truly believe with everything in my heart that everything happens for a reason!
4. I Got Locked Up!! In a public library when I was in the 5th grade. After school, I would walk home and stop by the library to read National Geographic magazines because the younger me so wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up. The librarian found me deep in the corner and scared the bejesus out of me…LOL! I’m sure I scared her too!

6. I'm a true #MamaBear, I love Mii Boys! I love watching them play sports! I am a #trackmom #footballmom & #soccermom. I still really enjoy popping a large bowl of popcorn and watching movies with them.
7. With that being said, we just rescued a Pit-terrier by the name of Titan (#boymom) in January 2020! We love him so very much, I truly believe he has been here before if you know what I mean!💙
8. I'm a sucker for love! I genuinely love when people post their anniversaries, date nights, and couple shots! It makes me feel so warm & fuzzy!🥰
9. I took the CliftonStrengths Assessment to find out...I'm an “Avid Learner”! No surprise there! Ask my mom and she will tell you, I have been like this my entire life. I am a continuous learner and I strive daily to develop myself.
