“Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.”

– Uri Bronfenbrenner

My WHY:

Because all human beings have equal worth and deserve the chance to live a healthy and productive life. For too many children in this world the DNA that they are born with, the location and community in which they are born, the socio-economic status of their family, and the gender they are assigned at birth, dictate their future potential. I want to empower children who, historically, are not provided the same supports, opportunities, and chances, to achieve their rights as human beings- to live a healthy and productive life.

Life has taught me:

To be present in this moment; and to have a plan B, C, D, and E… just in case.

Bet you didn’t know:

I am inspired daily by those around me. My son reminds me to never stop striving for my goals. My daughter is my reminder to laugh, smile and never take myself too seriously. My husband is my constant cheerleader. Without them, life would be pretty boring. On the weekends you can find me making my way through Forest Park or cheering at one of my kids’ sporting events. Being a soccer mom is great!
