what good habit do you wish you'd started earlier?
Strength. As a military spouse and Family Readiness Group volunteer for my husband’s Army unit, I devotedly embrace ‘strength’ and promote that philosophy among military spouses. Strength keeps us going through year-long deployments, encourages resilience through change, and prepares us to act lovingly during times of despair.

what concerns do you have with the future?
I love HGTV, and my favorite program is “Property Virgins” with Realtor host Sandra Rinomato. Being in the real estate field myself, I find that Sandra’s goals are in line with mine: educating and advising people to make wise real estate choices in light of the economic realities of our changing economy.

what do you most enjoy about traveling?
According to my husband, I have the worst habit of leaving clothes all over the floor. Fortunately, he makes for a great cleaning partner, and we can laugh together about the piles of clothing that resemble Mount McKinley while we pick them up.

what do you like most about your age?
"Live your life to your fullest potential so when you look back from heaven, you know you've done all you could with the gifts God has given you." This sentence articulates a future hope and faith which serves our personal relationships in the present.
