What is your proudest/greatest achievement outside of the professional realm?
My proudest achievement would be my family. I have an amazing husband who supports me. I have a beautiful 8 year old daughter who has had us wrapped around her little finger since the day she was born. She is so talented and we know she has nothing but big things waiting for her. I also have a 17 year step-daughter who will be graduating high school , and we are very proud of her!
What are you usually doing on the weekend or during time off?
On the weekends I am usually spending time outside with my family or busy running my daughter to and from dance rehearsals. My daughter is very active in dance and our family stays pretty busy with practices and competitions, but we wouldn’t have it any other way!
What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?
I would say the best advice I have ever gotten is – stay humble. No matter how good you get at something, you can always be better. I think this is important to teach our children in life challenges as they grow up.
What about you would surprise us?
I think that it might surprise a lot of people that I am a crazy dog person! We have 3 dogs that are all rescues, ranging in size from small, medium to large!

What is your proudest/greatest achievement outside of the professional realm?
My three children are by far my greatest achievement. The wonderful and caring adults they have become are proof. They have been nothing short of a gift to me that is a constant reminder of what is important in life!
What are you usually doing on the weekend or during time off?
Weekends and time off are usually spent with family doing whatever comes up. We mostly enjoy outdoor activities, but will make the most of any activity.
What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called ‘present’.
What about you would surprise us?
I’m a pretty simple person, so I don’t believe there is anything that would be a ‘surprise’.
