I AM...

• A single mom of four: a firefighter, two college students and one high school student
• Small but mighty!
• Extremely passionate about hockey and the Columbus Blue Jackets
• Fiercely independent
• An unwaveringly supportive friend
• An LGBT+ ally
• A former college long-distance runner, but now an inconsistent yet well-intentioned runner
• Inspired and impacted by music – influenced by classical composers, but my favorites are Tom Petty and Rush
• A weekend kayaker
• Always optimistic that fun amazing adventures are on the horizon
