Favorite School Memory | I loved football games and hanging out with friends and cruising main street; however, senior night is my best memory becuase I got to spend it with my dad. |
About Me | Wow! I have done a lot since high school. I married my first husband from Joplin after high school and we had a beautiful daughter together. Evie is truly the angel in my life, and I have been truly blessed with her. We divorced when she was 5, and I later remarried. She is currently 13 and a cheerleader at Heritage Middle School. I have been very blessed. I have been very fortuante because I was able to break the cycle of abuse, and to work my way out of poverty.

From the military, I returned to College and I went to the University of Idaho where I obtained my bachelors and masters desgree. My childhood experiences and experiences with family members who had mental illnesses shaped my career choices where I have worked for public and non-profit entities who serve those who are economically poor to meet thier basic needs of housing, food, and shelter.

I have overseen the operations of homeless shleters, tranistional housing, resident social services programs, and affordable housing oportunities. Currently, I work for a company that promotes migrant farm worker issues in rural communities, and I develop and build rural farm labor and HUD housing.
