My goal is to help streamline financial operations and provide valuable insights on how to allocate resources effectively and maintain compliance with government standards.

What are your superpowers – something you’re good at that others should know about?
My superpower is Enterprising. I love to challenge myself with new and difficult things; I am an independent, energetic spirited person who is always ready to act when it is necessary.
Accomplishment you’re proud of?
My children. I love watching them grow-up and getting to being a part of their lives. Graduating college and getting the job of my dreams!
Coaching our local high school swim teams. I love the transformation that I see in every season, when a group of individuals learns to come together and work as a team.
Completing 50k ultra marathons- When I train and run these distances, I get to experience what my human body is capable of, and it’s a wonderful experience. I could summarize it as feeling the most human I can be, when all of me, not just the brain, is living to the fullest. Every long run is like a mini lifetime. And spending these hours in beautiful surroundings, meeting interesting people, and always experiencing something unexpected.
