She has over 20-plus years in finance and program management as a government employee.  More importantly, she’s a mother, where her nurturing side is evident in her desire to help people, particularly military veterans.

She has personal experience working with veterans with PTSD and their families, seeing and hearing firsthand the struggles they’ve endured. Her motto, "we gave our military the weapons to fight, let’s give our veterans the tools to live” perfectly sums up her fierce support of the save a veteran/rescue a dog program; saving lives and saving animals.
