Life experience, focus and a willingness to say yes has led me to have opportunities that most people only dream about. Highlights include: a face to face meeting with Pope Francis based on my victims advocacy work, a Grammy award winning music producer on my recorded album. Chats with governors, senators, and house representatives while campaigning as a candidate for public office. Hosting a local show and appearing in over 100 local commercials and videos. A mom of two, a new grandmother, a wife of 35 years, a sister, a friend, a neighbor. A fighter and a solution seeker. A singer, a public speaker and servant Flawed and able to admit it.
