I'm the proud mom of two kindhearted kids and am very close to my immediate family. I grew up on a farm that will always be my oasis and "home." There is little doubt that my country upbringing is what sparked a love for animals and agriculture.

Mom is an incredibly talented artist and encouraged my love of fine art. Paling around with Dad taught me to have a do-it-yourself attitude; To not fear a large project, but to dive in and figure out how to get the job done as you go. I'm proud of the people my sister and brother have become, and love how my family cares for, and supports one another.
