1.
I am originally from New Jersey. I have lived in Minnesota since 2005.
2.
I'm a single mom to two teenage children
3.
I love problem solving. Whether it's detective type work or just researching to fit pieces of the puzzle together, I absolutely love to solve problems!
4.
5.
I often go out for trivia night once a week with friends. Our team name is Jersey Kids and it started with my uncle and I back in 2019 as we are both from New Jersey (and both Eagles fan of course!). He sadly passed away in 2022.
6.
I love making someone's day and going above and beyond in both work and life. My life's motto is "Be the change you wish to see in the world." It's a phrase I have tattooed on my arm. Oh how I wish more people lived by that these days.
7.
I have a dog named Oliver who is four years old. He was a rescue that we got from the Humane Society. I'm so thankful for that day I woke up and decided to go see some dogs. We fell in love with him right away!
8.
I have been a surrogate five times with my first surrogate baby born in 2011. I have worked in the surrogacy industry since 2017. I am now retired as a surrogate (still in the industry!) and ready for the next chapter of my life.
9.
I love to sing. I was in choir and some musicals in high school. I began college as a voice performance major, but realized I loved it more just doing it for fun. I need to get out and sing karaoke more.
10.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2023. It was luckily caught early. I am confident that this diagnosis and everything that goes with it will make me stronger. A lot changes in your mindset once you hear the words that you have cancer.
