I grew up on a farm in Spencer, West Virginia, where I assisted my father with his Greenhouse and Lawn Furniture business. I attended Shepherd University, where I met my husband, Chris, and we have been married for 25 years. We have two children: Helena, who recently graduated from West Virginia University, and Nathan, who will be attending Shepherd University in the fall to pursue his passion for acting. Currently, I work as the Lead Project Manager at Telos in Ashburn, Virginia. Now that I'm a new empty nester, I enjoy spending my free time with my book club, playing board games with friends, going to the gym, and traveling. I found my church home at Zion Episcopal Church in December 2021 and have enjoyed serving on the Altar Guild with Chris.
