About
Lover of life and everything it has to offer. I am a trailblazer in the areas of wellness, theology, and education. As a fully recovered quadriplegic who bounced back in one year to ride a century and mother of three successful girls, I understand what it means to plant seeds now for a fruitful harvest later.

I am first and foremost a mother and wife. I love spending time with my family going on adventures, being active, and playing board games. I am lover of the outdoors and enjoy cycling and hiking. A newer hobby of mine is writing. I have just completed my first book to be edited and and my second book already in brainstorm form.
