A typical day in my life includes… working out, prepping the kids’ lunches for school, managing thru the day’s business and personal priorities, then unwinding the day by taking walks with my husband, 2 kids, and our new Dobie rescue!
My favorite thing about Arizona… So many to list but my favorite would have to be our beautiful gorges and canyons.
I’m listening to… today it’s Chris Stapleton, Bon Jovi, and Nancy Ajram
My family… is my center and my everything
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be… my mom. She passed on at such a young age but I would want her to know that her arduous journey in conquering cancer was the biggest inspiration that shaped my entire life.
One thing I cannot live without… The calmness of a morning breeze and a warm cup of coffee in hand!
When I was younger, I wanted to be… a doctor so I could help others
I’m inspired by… my kids and their hunger for helping others.
The one person who motivates me is… My amazing husband Eric.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be… to give every child a safe and healthy environment to thrive in and eliminate homelessness and poverty.
The perfect day would be…. Christmas morning, when everyone in our family is gathered and our home is filled with kids, laughter, fun activities, great food, and utter gratitude.
My first job was… a cashier at Kmart when I was 16
My favorite escape… Reading a great book on a sandy beach or going hiking on a long scenic trail
My life… is driven by my purpose and propelled by my values and my love for my family.
I’m currently working on… Updating my new workout playlist!
Always… be present in the moment, offer others your undivided attention, it’s a rare gift that’s often undervalued
Never… take special moments or special people in your life for granted, and never underestimate the power of a good night sleep!
Favorite Quote… What’s important is not the years in your life but the life in your years.
Biggest Dream… Retire, travel with my family to as many places as I can, and live long enough to celebrate my kids’ milestones, life achievements, and their positive impact on others.
My Pet Peeve(s)… Dishonesty, arrogance, entitlement, and lack of situational awareness nor courtesy for others.
