Born in Florida but my heart always wanted to live somewhere that actually had a winter season so I moved out here in 2015. After graduating college, serving in the Navy, and moving out West I worked for a retirement planning company for 7 years only to realize I really didn't like working for someone else. So, in 2022 I left that company and became an Independent Agent. Since then, my life has been a whirlwind of community engagement, networking events, marketing opportunities and creating a real name for myself that means something.

In 2021, I was a 25 year Corporate America veteran who turned entrepreneur when I opened WOW 1 DAY PAINTING. I have been married to my husband for 25 years, and I have a grown daughter that is a heavy duty diesel mechanic.  All the animals I have, have all been the scratch and dents at the rescues we have adopted from, and we always try to adopt the animal who is the hardest to adopt/been there the longest. I love my family/animals, whiskey, handbags, and vinyl, in that order.
