About

The loss of two adult children is what drove me back to school at the age of 50. I consider myself a warrior now, I have the battle scars inside and out to prove it. I was a single mama of three, survived breast cancer, I was diagnosed at 36, and fought through multiple surgeries and treatment. This past August, I closed the chapter on breast cancer having my last surgery. God has guided me here to fullfill my purpose.

Goals and interests

Career goal

working with juveniles who suffer with mental illness and addictions. My final goal is to have a treatment ranch and name it after my son and daughter who passed away. I want to use animals and nature, and teach them that they are worth it.
