About me
I’m a parent of four children and have lived experience with adoption, sharing this journey with my husband of 25 years. I find balance and joy in walking, exploring nature, and listening to music. Spending time with our two dogs, Lucy and Barbara, adds a special source of happiness and comfort to my day.
