BEYOND THE BIO:
I was a military kid who grew up in sunny San Diego and now call Central Texas home. I love them both for different reasons.
Proud boy mom to twins + one (yes, it’s as wild and wonderful as it sounds!).
Fueled by coffee and bubbly water, preferably at the same time.
After college, I lived overseas in France, where I fell in love with travel, culture, and good cheese.
My happy place? Cheering from the sidelines or swimming in anything with water- lake, pool, or ocean.
