I met my husband, got married, and after making a few moves, we settled down here in The Black Hills to raise our 2 children. My family and I enjoy many of the outdoor activities that the Hills has to offer, including hiking, four wheeling, and going to the lake. I am also very passionate about being involved and supporting our growing community through the chamber of commerce.For 15 years I’ve worked in the healthcare field where I first discovered my passion and drive to help and serve others.
