Proud mom of five children and two mini dachshund’s-Princess Leia and Chewbacca-both of which run the household. For the past 10 years, I have successfully run a home catering and confectionary business. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family and fur babies; as well as hang out on or near the beach!

My life’s passion is to advocate for those without a voice, and those who need assistance navigating life’s challenges.

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well”.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
