I was born in Paducah, Kentucky and raised in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. We did live in Turkey for 2 years when my father was stationed there. Most of our lives we lived at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. I am an Army brat. I received my GED in 2001. I have since received two associates one in Medical Assistant and the other in Billing and coding. I have a Bachelor in HealthCare Administration a Masters in Healthcare Administration. I am currently working on my Doctorate in HealthCare Administrations.

I have been my husband’s caregiver since 2008. He was injured in the Army; I meet him after he received his injury. Our kid’s range from 27-4 the 4-year-old is our grandchild who we adopted.

I volunteered for many organizations. I was a Girl Scout leader many years until my oldest graduated. I was the FRG leader when my spouse was deployed. I volunteered for many years as a Hearts of Valor leader and then worked/volunteered also at the local Operation Homefront office and was the Volunteer Coordinator. In 2016 I received Volunteer of the Year at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. I love helping veterans and caregivers. My passion is military life and family. Many years I thought about creating my own non-profit that helps veterans. I am currently working for the Coalition to Salute American Heroes in there Heroes Thanking Heroes program thanking donors. I am a travel agent. As I love to travel and get paid to do it.
