I’m a 40-year-old, blue-collar working parent who has been earning a paycheck since I was 15. Hard work has shaped every aspect of my life, from my very first job to the roles I’ve taken on as an adult. I’ve worked in Customer Service, Project Management, and currently Quality Control on a jobsite. I’m a proud mom of three, and being involved in their lives and their schools has been one of my most meaningful responsibilities.

Outside of work and family, I stay active through running, enjoy reading, and love baking for friends, family, and community events. I also volunteer with several organizations, giving my time where I feel it can make a real difference. These experiences—at home, in the workforce, and in my community—have grounded me in a practical, down-to-earth way with a strong sense of responsibility towards others..
