I have lived in San Diego since October 1995 and purchased my current home in Scripps Ranch in 2002. I am originally from a small town in Ohio, where most of my family still resides. In 1993, I left Ohio in search of the place I was truly meant to be. My journey first took me to Pensacola, Florida. While it offered the most amazing beaches and southern charm, it wasn’t the right fit for me. Trusting my instincts, I packed up my car and made the move to San Diego—a decision that ultimately led me to the place I now call home.

I have been involved in a variety of volunteer organizations over the years, giving back to the community in meaningful ways. I have served as a Girl Scout leader for 11 years and have provided Service Unit support for more than six of those years. My daughter and I are currently in our third year of a six-year program with National Charity League. I am also in my first year serving as Treasurer for the Falcon Playhouse at Scripps Ranch High School. Additionally, I am in my second year volunteering as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), supporting and advocating for children within the foster care system. When I’m not nurturing my career, volunteering, or parenting (and doing all the things in between), I enjoy spending time with my small family—including my five-year-old black Goldendoodle, Laney. I love great food, live theater, time with friends, traveling when I can, a wonderful bottle of red wine, and indulging in fabulous dark chocolate.
