I was born and raised in western PA on our family farm. My oldest son works for Onslow County Schools and the youngest starts college at Coastal Carolina Community College this fall. I've lived in Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. We moved here in 2013 to be close to family that was also military. My husband is a local whose family has military roots here in Onslow & Jones County. He works for Onslow County Schools as a mechanic. We now live in the beautiful Maysville area.

My hobbies include watching and attending professional sporting events, working on/restoring vehicles with my husband, yard work and gardening, listening to music, and hanging out with family and friends. I love dogs and have 2 pugs named Ursa and Luna. I also love to travel and take road trips. I've been to 27 states so far and my bucket list includes visiting all 50
