Family is a big part of who I am. My husband and I first met during my junior year of college, and now he’s thriving in the tech world, always tackling the challenges that come his way. My parents are retired and off exploring the globe, while my sister is carving her own path right here in Washington.

At home, my two dogs, Light and Rem, keep life exciting. Light is a snack enthusiast who lives for treats, and Rem is my #1 sidekick as my service dog in training. With them by my side, life is full of laughter, adventure, and unconditional love.

Growing up in a military family shaped who I am and gave me incredible opportunities to see the world, meet amazing people, and learn invaluable life lessons. I carry a deep sense of gratitude for the experiences and values that lifestyle instilled in me. That’s why I’m passionate about giving back to the military community through organizations like Toys for Tots, the Semper Fi Fund, Team RWB, the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, and so many others. Supporting these non-profits is my way of honoring the service members and families who sacrifice so much for all of us. It’s a privilege to contribute to causes that make a difference in their lives.

My passion for health and wellness runs deep - a passion shaped by my own experiences. Lifelong chronic pain taught me the importance of physical fitness, family health challenges sparked my interest in nutrition, and my ADHD diagnosis in 2023 opened my eyes to the need for honest conversations about mental health. These experiences inspire me to take a proactive approach to wellness, always learning, sharing, and growing along the way. For me, health isn’t just about overcoming challenges—it’s about creating a balanced, vibrant life and encouraging others to do the same.
