As the daughter of an artist, I have nurtured a lifelong love for the arts. In turn I have dedicated my professional and scholastic career to working with the arts. As a fundraiser, I have the opportunity to play an important role in ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to have creativity and artistic expression available to them. In addition to enjoying the arts, I have a soft spot for animals of all sorts, but especially pit bulls and other bully breed dogs. In my spare time I enjoy visiting breweries and wineries, live music, sports, and spending time with my family.
