More about me:

I’m a happily married mother of three amazing and responsible young adults. I love the outdoors, being active, and adventurous. I like gardening, dancing, hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, swimming, rock climbing, paddle boarding, sledding, and would like to learn how to ski as I have retired from snowboarding. I love sharing positive energy with the children by being actively involved with them.

Please email me if you have any questions, or would like to set up a time to meet!
