About

I am a wife and mother of 8 girls ranging from 27 to 3 months. My husband and I have adopted 4 of the girls out of foster care, then had a surprise right after adopting 3 which gave us our beautiful baby. I have worked at my job for over 15 years and wanted to complete by BS to further advance down the road. I am supervisor in my position and have a wonderful group that work under me.
